6 centipedes at the zoo, counting all their legs
There were 9 giraffes at the zoo, taller than the trees

12 3s are 36 (so come to the zoo with Percy)
There were 15 bears at the zoo, big and proud and strong
18 snakes at the zoo, hissy, mean and long
There were 21 ducks at the zoo, walking in three rows
24 monkeys at the zoo, picking their noses… (‘UGH!’)
CHORUS
There were 27 zebras at the zoo, all covered in stripes
30 gorillas at the zoo, always starting fights
33 parrots at the zoo, making lots of noise
There were 36 girls at the zoo, chasing all the boys… (‘HA HA HA’)
CHORUS – FILL IN THE ANSWERS!
