Books like What's new at the zoo? by Betty Comden


Presented are the full lyrics of a lively number from the Broadway musical *Do Re Mi*. In the song, a motley group of zoo animals, cramped together, beg for release from the crowded enclosure. Their pleas are interwoven with comic mishaps, as they accidentally step on each other’s trunks, quills, and toes, adding humor to the melody. The piece captures the whimsical spirit of the musical and illustrates the playful dynamics between different animal characters, making it a charming resource for children and music enthusiasts alike.
