CHORUS: (Chorus) Oswald, Schmoswald, Oswalderee! That’s not a crazy animal, I like to make odd animals That’s just a name for me.

Those weirdos aren’t in any book— I like to draw the animals Who made ’em up? I did! I read about in books. I like to learn ’bout where they live (Chorus—twice) And draw their crazy looks.

Like: An eight‐legged octopus Living in the sea, A black‐spotted ocelot Climbing up a tree, A giant pair of oxen Working as a team, A slithery little otter Swimming in a stream.
