There’s a reason for the warm sweet nights And there’s a reason for the candle lights Must be the season When those love rites shine all around us So let the wonder take you into space And lay you under its loving embrace Just feel the thunder as it warms your face You can’t hold back Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow With the smallest of dreams and let your love show And you’ll know what I mean, it’s the season Let your love fly like a bird on the wing And let your love bind you to all living things And let your love shine And you’ll know what I mean, that’s the reason ---

“Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba” Said the monkey to the chimp. “Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba” Said the chimpee to the monk. All night long they chattered away. All day long they were happy and gay, Swinging and swaying in a honky, tonky way. “Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba” Said the chimp, “I love but you.” Abba dabba dabba in monkey talk means “Chimp, I love you too.” Then the ol’ baboon, one night in June, Married them and very soon, They sailed away on an abba dabba honeymoon. ---

I went to the animal fair, The birds and the beasts were there. The big baboon, by the light of the moon, Was coming his auburn hair. The monkey he got drunk And fell on the elephant’s trunk. The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees, And that was the end of the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk, etc. ad nauseum ---

Ohhh… The Hippo steps on a Lizard, and out shoots the Lizard’s gizard, and the Elephant puts the Moose into a noose, and the Lion kills an Elk, and the Tiger kills a Gazelle, and the Tiger kills another Gazelle, and the Tiger kills another Gazelle, and the Gazelles finally wise up and kill the Tiger, and a Big Horn Sheep gives the Gorilla an exploding banana, and the Moose puts quicksand in the cats litter-box, and the Penguin puts a Chameleon on a piece of white paper for six hours and drops him into a housing project, and the Shrews tie a Duck-billed Platypus to a tree and drive a train set down his throat, and Porpoises say ‘Oh, we’re safe in this enclosed tank’ and the Electric Eels say ‘Wanna bet?’, and the Parrot tells the Monkey that there’s no Monkey God and the monkey lives a life of despair and finally kills himself by sticking his head into a light socket, and the Birds pick his bones clean and the people think he’s a wind chime. But, at least for awhile, they were doing the animal square dance. ---

There is a town in north Ontario, With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind I still need a place to go, All my changes were there. Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. ---
