My nephew (9 at the time) was visiting us from Michigan. I was showing him some of my latest music production tools. He fell in love with the scratch track I created, that is at the beginning of the song. Enjoy Funky Animals (Levi’s Song) | Story Behind Song
Then he said, “Oh Aunt Judith please write me a song like you did for mom (see “Ride“). I asked, “Well what do you want your song to be about?” He said, “How about animals!” Then I asked him some more questions such as, “Why do you like animals? What is it about them you want in a song?”
He rattled off some things like:
– I love my hamster Snowball.
– Going to the zoo, feeding the Giraffes, and watching them run.
– The monkeys, they’re funny, and sometimes they play with each other’s tails.
“Funky Animals” Lyrics
Verse 1 Chorus I love the animals Bridge Verse 2 Chorus I love the animals
Go to a pet store
There are so many
I want them all
So I got a hamster
She’s cute and fluffy
Her name is Snowball
I love the animals
Just like my family
I love, I love the animals
The Funky, Funky animals
From Detroit to Miami
I love, I love the animals
My Funky, Funky animals
Take me to the zoo or an aquarium will do
Feed the tall Giraffes and watch them run, run, run
Let’s adapt a whale or watch a monkey chase his tail
Find a pony ride in the sun, sun, sun
Beasts of the fields
Birds of the Air
Fish of the sea
God made the creatures
I love their music
Even the bumble bee
I love the animals
Just like my family
I love, I love the animals
The Funky, Funky animals
From Detroit to Miami
I love, I love the animals
My Funky, Funky animals
Bridge End Tag
Take me to the zoo or an aquarium will do
Feed the tall Giraffes and watch them run, run, run
Let’s adapt a whale or watch a monkey chase his tail
Find a pony ride in the sun, sun, sun
Na, na’s…..
Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky, animals!
