They're a bit like a wolf
They're a bit like a hound
Have a laugh loud and daft
That's the sound of a clown

Ha ha ha ha
He he he he
Hy hy hy hyeeeeeenas

They have stripes they have spots
Live on African plains
It's their home where they roam
There's no doubt they're deranged

Ha ha ha ha
He he he he
Hy hy hy hyeeeeeenas

Sharpened claws on their paws
On their backs there's a hunch
Always eat lots of meat
For their tea and their lunch

Ha ha ha ha
He he he he
Hy hy hy hyeeeeeenas

What's the joke? No-one knows
But they laugh all the same
First they roar then guffaw
Then they laugh once again

Ha ha ha ha
He he he he
Hy hy hy hyeeeeeenas
