I dreamed last night that I was a tiger in the jungle 
But I was a big bad tiger, for a lion killed me 
And then I was an elephant, a great big elephant 
There wasn’t anything I couldn’t do 
Till they caught and they brought me to the zoo 
So I dreamed I was an alligator 
-Crocodile? -No, alligator! 
With a great big mouth 
And four very funny little legs 
Which are no good for dancing 
So, then I was a dancing bear 
And I was doing my dancing where the bears dance 
But I was sneezing, ‘cause I was a dancing polar bear 
And it was freezing 
Then I dreamed I was a giraffe 
I looked so ridiculous I wanted to laugh 
But giraffes can’t talk, so how can they laugh? 
Who ever saw a giraffe laugh?
Then I woke up 
And I was not a tiger, or and elephant, 
I was not an alligator. -Crocodile? -No, alligator! 
I was not a dancing bear or a tall giraffe 
I was only me...And that’s the way I’ll be! 
Oh, that’s the way I’ll be 
I enjoy being an oyster!
