The sloth and the billy-goat
The sloth and the billy-goat took to the sky
in ninety-nine red balloons
They took some toffee and plenty of coffee
and floated off t'wards the moon
They stopped in the land where the music grows
and they each picked a singing flower
Sloth grabbed an electric mandolin
and shredded some chords of power
Goat was delighted, she skipped and she hopped
through a mosh-pit of imagination
She waved at the theremin, making cool sounds
of woo-woo reverberation
They played and they sang and they goofed off all night
with kalimba and digeridoo
They laughed at the sound of the scratchy fish
and played grandpa on the bassoon
The sloth kept on crooning and goat harmonized
when at dawn they climbed into their airship
With high fives and hugs, they sailed home all aglow
from their silly-fun musical kinship.
