That Woodland Cabaret 1913

In a forest deep
when the shadows creep,
Over animal land,
ev'ry tiger there
leaves his tiger lair,
joins an animal band,
Tiny bugs and ants,
great big elephants,
with their trumpets to play,
Oh! They all come there
when the night is fair,
for the Woodland Cabaret.

When they start that Woodland Cabaret.
with a flash and a dash and a crash,
Light'ning bugs turn midnight in to day,
with a light that is bright in the night,
Tango tiger teddy bear,
Turkey trotting here and there,
Bib breeze plays in the big trees,
a hundred haunting harmonies;
How they love to hear that hootowl hoo,
Hear the sound on the ground all around,
Whippoor Will will whistle still for you,
In his way he is gay night and day,
Robin Red Breast grabs his mate,
swings her round, oh Babe it's great
when they start that Woodland Cabaret.

When they start that Woodland Cabaret.
with a flash and a dash and a crash,
Light'ning bugs turn midnight in to day,
with a light that is bright in the night,
Tango tiger teddy bear,
Turkey trotting here and there,
Bib breeze plays in the big trees,
a hundred haunting harmonies;
How they love to hear that hootowl hoo,
Hear the sound on the ground all around,
Whippoor Will will whistle still for you,
In his way he is gay night and day,
Robin Red Breast grabs his mate,
swings her round, oh Babe it's great
when they start that Woodland Cabaret.

When the moon is high
in the jungle sky,
watch that baby bear slide,
Weeping willow trees
laughing in the breeze,
at that rattlesnake glide,
It is there you learn
how the worm will turn,
watch him dip and then sway,
and the wild cat's wild,
he must mind his child,
at the Woodland Cabaret.

When they start that Woodland Cabaret.
with a flash and a dash and a crash,
Light'ning bugs turn midnight in to day,
with a light that is bright in the night,
Tango tiger teddy bear,
Turkey trotting here and there,
Bib breeze plays in the big trees,
a hundred haunting harmonies;
How they love to hear that hootowl hoo,
Hear the sound on the ground all around,
Whippoor Will will whistle still for you,
In his way he is gay night and day,
Robin Red Breast grabs his mate,
swings her round, oh Babe it's great
when they start that Woodland Cabaret.

When they start that Woodland Cabaret.
with a flash and a dash and a crash,
Light'ning bugs turn midnight in to day,
with a light that is bright in the night,
Tango tiger teddy bear,
Turkey trotting here and there,
Bib breeze plays in the big trees,
a hundred haunting harmonies;
How they love to hear that hootowl hoo,
Hear the sound on the ground all around,
Whippoor Will will whistle still for you,
In his way he is gay night and day,
Robin Red Breast grabs his mate,
swings her round, oh Babe it's great
when they start that Woodland Cabaret.
