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 a 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 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
