Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
Far,
far away at the end of the world
G 
There's a land that belongs to animals
Among the birds and the bees
and the flowering trees
C 
Animals of every variety
Tortoises, chipmunks,
squirrels and goats
G 
Moose and mice and colourful toads
Rabbits and rhinoceroses
hopping through the fields
C 
Horses and zebras sharing
grassy meals
Hippopotamus and beaver
play together in the pond
G 
Camels and donkeys
share a brotherly bond
From the elephant down
to the chimpanzee
C 
They all get along in harmony
Em 
C 
One day some sailors spied the land
A 
G 
Dm 
A 
Dm 
And dropped an anchor in the sand
F 
G 
They came ashore and looked around
C 
G 
C 
And this is what they found
Giraffes lunging leaves
at the tops of the trees
G 
C 
While buffalo grazed down
G 
around their knees
The trees were loaded with nuts and fruit,
C 
all around were edible plants and roots.
It was like nothing they had
ever seen before.
G 
They called for the captain
to come ashore.
The captain came ashore
and he rubbed his eyes.
C 
He said, I've discovered paradise.
He said this would be the best
of all possible worlds
G 
If we could just get rid of all
these animals
They're not too smart,
they're not very funny
C 
We'll have to find out
where they're hiding all their money
And so the sailors looked around
G 
A 
Dm 
A 
Dm 
But no money could be found
F 
G 
They said it must be underground
C 
We'll turn this island up
G 
C 
G 
C 
side down
Elephants started moving forward in a row
G 
And the sailors said,
I think it's time to go
We'll come back with machinery
C 
to clear the and an army
to help maintain the peace.
So they climbed aboard the ship
and sailed away,
G 
vowing to return in a matter of days.
They searched the ocean from end to end,
C 
but they never found the land again.
The legend spread from town to town,
G 
but the animal island could
never be found.
Some say a magic spell
sent down from the sky
C 
made the island invisible
to the human eye.
It's an old wives tale, others will say,
G 
but the animals thrive to this very day.
And late at night on the open seas
C 
you can hear this tune
floating on the breeze.
F 
Dm 
Animal Island,
G 
Animal Island,
C 
F 
G 
Em 
Animal Is land,
Dm 
C 
G 
Dm 
G 
Animal Is land.
