Battlefield Rumpelstiltskin: The Animal Song
There once was a creature
With just one feature
That could catch anyone's eye
Mr. Wombat, he's called
And even you'd be enthralled
By the size of that creature's thighs
I told that cat
He was a little too fat
And he hurled at me a harpoon
So I challenged that wombat
To some hand to hand combat
And the dish ran away with the spoon

Why you so fat, Mr. Wombat?

Now I beat that animal fare and square
And I thought that the battle was through
But that son-of-a gun
Was not quite done
And he enlisted his animal crew
He sent one of his friends
To seek revenge
And he sought on the break of dawn
Oh, yes it's true
He left a whole lot of poo
Right in the middle of my lawn

Why you so fat, Mr. Wombat?
Why'd you leave that steamer, Mr. Lemur?
(Quit poopin' on my lawn)

So I cleaned up the doo
And thought it all was through
But the wombat didn't stop there
He sent another chum
And oh what scum
He made my vegetable garden bare
Yeah he ate all my tomatoes
And he all my potatoes
And I didn't think I could bear it
For a creature that was mean
Was eating all my greens
It was the sinister Mr. Ferret

Why you so fat Mr. Wombat?
Why'd you leave that steamer, Mr. Lemur?
(Quit poopin' on my lawn)
Lay off my carrots, Mr. Ferret

I yelled and I cursed
And I was ready to burst
And I would take this all no more
I knew it had to end
So I called up my friend
And soon the cat was at my door
We shook hands
And we made up a plan
And we pledged to give it our all
So we marched to their lair
And said "say your prayers"
And my friend and those creatures brawled

Why you so fat Mr. Wombat?
Why'd you leave that steamer, Mr. Lemur?
(Quit poopin' on my lawn)
Lay off my carrots, Mr. Ferret
Give it all you've got, Mr. Ocelot!

They fought and they clawed
And they kneed and they gnawed
Until a yelp came from that spot
The dust it cleared
And a creature reappeared
It was the one and only ocelot

Why you so fat Mr. Wombat?
Why'd you leave that steamer, Mr. Lemur?
(Quit poopin' on my lawn)
Lay off my carrots, Mr. Ferret
Give it all you've got, Mr. Ocelot!
