African Safari Animal Song Lyrics by Diana Colson Oh, I’m going on an African safari,
   Oh, I’m going on an African safari,
Oh, I’m going on an African safari,
   Oh, won’t you come along with me?   I hope I’ll see some lions on safari, 
   Oh, I hope I’ll see some zebras on safari,
Oh, I hope I’ll see some cheetahs on safari,
   Oh, won’t you come along with me?
Oh, won’t you come along with me?
   Oh, won’t you come along with me? http://images.all-free-download.com/images/graphicmedium/african_safari_vector_163530.jpg Hear the beat at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwcJ-tMun0Q
