Lyrics
AT THE BALL
(Convenient Haystacks)
The ostrich talked and the goldfish walked while the little dog wagged its tail
The lion roared the rhino bored a black hole through the jail
The elephant laughed to see such a sight the hyenas howled through it all
The moon shined down on the prairie dog town while you and I danced
at the ball the ball
while you and I danced at the ball
And though it was great we really were late getting the carriage back
So off we walked to talk sweet talk making stops by convenient haystacks haystacks
making stops by convenient haystacks
