Lyrics
If I had a Giraffe
I wish I had a giraffe
I wish my neck would reach that far
I wish I had a giraffe
I could reach the last cookie in the cookie jar.
I would have such a laugh
if I had a giraffe
I would take him to show and tell
Ride on his back all the way to school
If the teacher said "He smells"
I'd wash him off in the swimming pool
I would have such a laugh
if I had a giraffe
It would surely take all day
to clean up all his orange spots
If they didn't wash away
He'd let me play "connect the dots"
I would have such a laugh
if I had a giraffe
I wouldn't have to rake the leaves
Cause he would eat them off the trees
He's the tallest animal in the world
I wish I had a giraffe
I wish my neck would reach that far
I wish I had a giraffe
I could reach the last cookie in the cookie jar.
I would have such a laugh
watch him walk so fast
if I had a giraffe
