I dreamed last night that I was a tiger
In the jungle
But I was a big bad tiger
So 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 me 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?
Whoever saw a giraffe laugh?
Then I woke up
And I was not a tiger or an 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
