I Dont Want to Throw Up!(Sung to the "Toys 'R'
Us" commercial tune)
I don't want to throw up, I just feel like I do
I ate so much terrific stuff, today at the
zoo.I don't want to throw up, but my tum's
kinda sick,From caramel corn and peanut chews,
and corn-dogs on a stick,... I don't want to
throw up, 'cause, "golly", if I do,We won't be
goin' back to the zoo! Oh, drat! Oh! ... SPLAT!
... Oh, phoo! I guess I over-ate at the zoo
