Flanders and Swann also had an entire album of animals, “The Bestiary.” I’m particularly partial to “The Warthog (The Hog Beneath the Skin),” “The Whale (Mopy Dick),” “The Elephant (with amnesia),” “The Armadillo’s love song,” and “The Spider (in the bath.)”
Also worth mentioning from that album:

Then the farmer hits him on the head and grinds him up,
And that’s how we get hamburgers."
