As I went off down the road
In search of my mate Mr. Toad
You’ll never guess what I did see
But two gorillas drinking tea

Come and join us they did say
And tell us all about your day
I sat myself upon a chair
Expecting people to stop and stare

But as I looked all I could see
Were more gorillas drinking tea
Don’t be shy they said to me
Have a cuppa, it’s going free

This tea party used to be here for chimps
But we chased off those pesky wimps
Now it does belong to us
Drinking tea till we go bust

So come on, tell us about your day
We stopped you while you were on your way
I was off down the road
In search of my mate Mr. Toad

Have you seen him I did say
Last I saw him was Saturday
We saw him try to cross the road
But sadly in heaven is Mr. Toad
