You Can't Take a Goldfish for a Walk

You can stick a cork in an elephant's trunk
Put a hippo on a diet to lose weight
You can book a meeting with a tortoise too
Though expect him to be late
You could clean the teeth of a crocodile's smile
Teach the shyest parrot to talk
But when choosing a pet
Please don't forget
You can't take a goldfish for a walk

You can instruct a flamingo to win at bingo
And a pig to keep out the mud
Brief a vampire bat informing him that
It's so uncool to suck blood
Tell vultures, seagulls, buzzards and eagles
That it's very impolite to squawk
But as they swapped their limbs
For a bunch of fins
You can't take a goldfish for a walk

You can help a hyena split his sides laughing
Tie a rattlesnake in a knot
Have a race with a cheetah (though he's bound to beat ya)
Then paint out a leopard's spots
The chimpanzee who's coming to tea
Could eat with a knife and fork
But when you buy aquatic creatures
Remember this one feature
You can't take a goldfish for a walk

You can tell a chinchilla to sit on a gorilla
Force a cow to go 'woof' not 'moo'
Enquire if a wallaby would one day wanna be
Converted to a kangaroo
Though they're omnivores beg bears not to gnaw
On beef or lamb or pork
But as they much prefer the water
This simple fact will never alter
You can't take a goldfish for a walk

Don't be dim
They only like to swim

So you can't take a goldfish for a walk
