Barry Louis Polisar What If a Zebra Had Spots song lyrics

What if a zebra had spots?

Do you think he would like that a lot?

And what if a tiger had dots

What if a leopard did not?

What if we could sleep like a bat

And dine like an overweight cat?

Instead of going to school, we'd hang around and get fat;

I know of some people like that.

What if we talked with our nose?

And what if the sun just froze?

Exactly what do you suppose

We'd be if we didn't wear clothes?

What if a hippo could fly

Or flutter like a big butterfly?

Do you think any hippo would try?

If so, what would fall from the sky?
