African Treehouse - Professor Owl Lyrics

There's a school in the bush
Where little animals go
With a wise old owl teaching them all that they should know
Good morning class
Good morning Professor Owl
Today we will learn about collective nouns

Professor Owl cleared his throat and asked
What do we call a group of baboons, class
Right at the back, a little paw went up
It's called a troupe
Said the little lion cub
And what do we call a group of giraffe
A herd
Said the little hyena with a laugh

There's a school in the bush
Where little animals go
With a wise old owl teaching them all that they should know
Good morning class
Good morning Professor Owl
Today we will learn about collective nouns

A troupe of baboons
A herd of giraffe
A swarm of bees
An army of ants
A pride of lions
A parliament of owls
A school of fish
A clutch of chicks

With his glasses on his nose, the Professor asked
And what do we call a group of bees, class
Little Tilley tortoise stuck her head out of her shell
A swarm, sir
The little tortoise yelled
And what do we call a group of ants
An army
Said the little meerkat clapping his hands

There's a school in the bush
Where little animals go
With a wise old owl teaching them all that they should know
Good morning class
Good morning Professor Owl
Today we will learn about collective nouns

The professor tapped his desk with his stick and asked
And what do we call a group of lions, class
Little Sally Snake, hissed the answer
It's called a pride, ssssschool master
And what do we call, a group of owls
A parliament sir
The whole class yelled

A flock of birds
A pack of wolves
A school of fish
A colony of frogs
A litter of puppies
A herd of zebra
A gaggle of geese
A slither of snakes
A troupe of baboons
A herd of giraffe
A swarm of bees
An army of ants
A pride of lions
A parliament of owls
A school of fish
A clutch of chicks
A flock of birds (There's a school in the bush)
A pack of wolves (Where little animals go)
A school of fish (With a wise old owl teaching them all that they should know)
A colony of frogs
A litter of puppies (Good morning class)
A herd of zebra (Good morning Professor Owl)
A gaggle of geese (Today we will learn about collective nouns)
A slither of snakes
