If I said I didn't CARIBOU you
Then I'd be a LION
'Cause I'm so happy you're HARE with me
That HYENA gonna leave you once you're mine

WARTHOG you I'd be lost
LIZARD you I'd be nothing
OSTRICH your arms out towards me
ANTELOPE with me, my darling

I could never want any OTTER
So let's do it, we might GAZELLE
There's KOALA places we could go
CAMEL way with me if you dare!

Let's be a PARROT hearts — inseparable
And AARDVARK on this adventure
LEOPARD of me is a part of you
So it's only right we should go together

DINGO and leave me crying
Look me in the eyes and say you MONKEY
And beneath the full of BABOON
We will not say our vows lightly.
