Lyrics/Music T.Koehler & I.Caesar/R.Henderson



Once Mother said My little pet

you ought to learn your alphabet

So in my soup I used to get

All the letters of the alphabet

I learned them all from A to Z

And now my Mothers giving me



------

Animal crackers in my soup

Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop

Gosh oh gee but I have fun

Swallowing animals one by one



In every bowl of soup I see

Lions and Tigers watching me

I make 'em jump right through a hoop

Those animal crackers in my soup



When I get hold of the big bad wolf

I just push him under to drown

Then I bite him in a million bits

And I gobble him right down



When their inside me where its dark

I walk around like Noahs Arc

I stuff my tummy like a goop

With animal crackers in my soup



Animal crackers in my soup

Do funny things to me

They make me think my neighbourhood

Is a big menagerie



For instance there's our Janitor

His name is Mr Klein

And when he Hollers at us kids

He reminds me of a Lion





The Grocer is so big and fat

He has a big moustache

He looks just like a Walrus

Just before he takes a splash
