When Adam when out to name the animals
He sat on a rock and he figured
Horse and cow and goat and sheep
Were the best names that he could deliver
But Eve looked around at all of that glory
Said Hon I think we should consider
Something a bit more unique and refined
For each and every critter
Chorus:
It's a crash of rhinoceros, a pomp of Pekinese
ItÂ’s a gaggle of geese and a swarm of bees
A parliament of owl and gam of whale
A pandemonium of parrot and a watch of nightingale
A Huddle of Walrus, company of Moles
Exultation of lark and a murder of crow
A simple flock sheep and a herd of deer
ItÂ’s a bask of crocodiles and a sleuth of bear
Adam looked shocked and scratched his head
Eve stood there happy and beaming
The animals gathered in close to their feet
With roars of delight, barks and singing
SheÂ’s on a roll and just getting started
The birds and beasts held their breath
What fine appellation would they receive
And which of them would be the next?
Chorus:
It's a team of oxen and a mob of kangaroo
It's a charm of finch if there are more than two
A troubling of goldfish, a cluster of cats
A bloat of hippopotami, a cloud of bats
Ostentation of peacock, a barren of mules
An army of ant, nursery of raccoon
A parcel of penguins a dray of squirrels
A bed of oyster with or without the pearls
All that naming lasted far into the night
Until even the insects had groupings
Eve was still bright eyed and willing to finish
Though her shoulders and fig leaves were drooping
Adam said, “Darling I'm proud and amazed
YouÂ’re really one heck of a woman
So lets go to sleep and tomorrow we'll rise
And we'll start naming the rocks plants and woodlands.”
Chorus
It's a tittering of magpie, company of mole
ItÂ’s a pride of lions a tribe of goats
