| '''Jimmy Goes to the City'''
| |
| by Arthur Read
| |
| | |
| Jimmy was a happy ape
| |
| Until some hunters caught him
| |
| He liked the jungle better than
| |
| The city where they brought him
| |
| The city was louder
| |
| The city was meaner
| |
| Even the dirt in the jungle was cleaner
| |
| So Jimmy made a daring escape!
| |
| The hunters were suddenly minus one ape!
| |
| He climbed the tallest building
| |
| Because from there he'd see
| |
| How far away the jungle was
| |
| From the middle of the city.
| |
| Jimmy jumped into a passing plane
| |
| But the pilot didn't wait for him to explain
| |
| Jimmy flew back to the jungle
| |
| And told his ape friends in their lair
| |
| "The city's okay for a visit
| |
| But you couldn't make me live there."
