Ooooooh

Sometimes I wish I could be a giraffe
Head stretched up high in the leaves
I would pretend a giraffe's what I am
And my friends had long necks like me

Heads high up in the sky
Imagine how much we could see
We’d sleep standing up
Clean our ears with our tongues
Oh what a life that would be

Ooooooh

Sometimes I’d love to be a giraffe
Head stretched high in the leaves
My friends and I so tall together
Singing giraffe songs like these

Heads high up in the sky
All of the world we can see
We’d sleep standing up
Clean our ears with our tongues
See our spot patterns unique every one
Munch on acacia leaves
No lions thank you, team
This is the life for me

Ooooooh

Sometimes I need to be a giraffe
Head stretched high in the leaves
My friends and I so tall together
Swaying with the beautiful breeze

Heads high up in the sky
All of the world we can see
We’d sleep standing up
Clean our ears with our tongues
See our spot patterns unique every one
Munch on acacia leaves
No lions thank you team
When we drink water we drop to our knees
This is the long-legged
Long-necked
Longest drink in town
Long seeing life for me
