In make-believe town,

In make-believe town,

In make-believe town,

Oh, yes,



In make-believe town,

Oh, make-believe town,

Oh, make-believe town

Is a mess



It's a mess because all the animals walk,

It's a mess because they all draw with chalk,

It's a mess because all the hunting hounds...



Chorus:

Go no more a-hunting, a-hunting, a-hunting

Go no more a-hunting,

But that's in animal make-believe town.



Well the monkey who lives

In make-believe town

He loves to drink saffron tea

He sits on the veranda

And talks to the panda

And then he jumps into the sea



He jumps into the sea because it is green

He jumps into the sea to visit the queen

He jumps into the sea because the hunting hounds...



(chorus)



Well the elephant lives

In make-believe town

And he is a wise old man

He studied in books

Where nobody looks

Because they're all covered with jam



He is wise because of his blue shirt of lace

He is wise because of his wrinkly face

He is wise because all the hunting hounds...



(chorus)



Well the magician who lives

In make-believe town

He can do any trick in the book

He makes little girls giggle

And tadpoles twiggle

And rides through the sky on his hook



He rides because the good fairy is there

And he rides because he has long purple hair

He rides because all the hunting hounds...



(chorus)



Well the children that live

In make-believe town

They are good friends like you and me

They can go where they wish

And hide in a dish

And climb in the sassafras tree



They are friends because they all love one another

They are friends because they all sing to each other

They are friends because all the hunting hounds...



(chorus)
