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
