- Come now children, get in line
- To see our shiny Zoo
- Where in the cardboard cage resides
- The Fangly Snafferdoo
- Half submerged in swampy filth
- It's fanglies snaffed and done
- The Snafferdoo it cools itself
- By lying in the Sun
- Even still the story's told
- Of islands far away
- The tale of mighty hunters come
- The Snafferdoo to slay
- Across the ocean's stormy calm
- Their mighty ship it sailed
- If seas had been the least bit salt
- Their voyage might have failed
- Midst boiling magma icicles
- Frozen by the flames
- The Snafferdoo played Tic-Tac-Toe
- And other friendly games
- Said the hunters, "Hold ye there!"
- "We've come to shoot you dead!"
- "But if you'll just come back with us"
- "We'll make a buck instead"
- Now Snafferdoos are fearsome beasts
- And not the sort to trust
- This one couldn't see by day
- And had to wait for dusk
- For in the lands beyond the sea
- Of strange and saltless tides
- The sun shines brightly all night long
- And then by day it hides
- The beast it bared it's fangly fangs
- And bragged that anyone
- Who beat it fair at Battleship
- It's capture would have won
- The hunting party soon agreed
- This contest was the way
- And sent one of their own to fetch
- The box so they could play
- They spent some time in setting up
- Before they could begin
- By hiding all their ships they thought
- The contest they could win
- Each time the beast attacked
- To hit a hunter's ship, it did
- For it could read their minds to see
- Just where their ships were hid
- And when the hunters lost it seemed
- the Snafferdoo was free.
- But when it won it offered them
- Best two out of three
- Twice it lost on purpose
- So it came back to their ship
- Playing checkers with the captain
- For the whole returning trip
- And lying there within our Zoo
- It's thoughts you'd never guess
- It's made it's life's ambition
- To beat the world at chess.
