    Zebra zebra at the zoo
    are you trying to alarm us
    You look just like a rocking horse
    Dressed up in striped Pyjamas!

    the poem is
    The zebra in the zoo(2)
    You look like a horsie who painted you.
    Black and white stripes all over you,
    Oh! zebra i feel like hugging you.

    Elephant has a trunk,
    Rino has a horn, he is very strong
    Girafee has a long neck (2)
    i know i know girafee is the tallest
    Kangaroo has a pouch (2)
    who he is in the pouch
    i know i know babies in the pouch.

    That Nursery song was sung for Ronnie Visalus child when it couldn’t get to sleep one night and was feeling sick. Zebra came over to Ronnies house and was hanging out after playing a small concert at the bar Peabody’s that Ronnie and his friend Gary owned

    I remember that nursery rhyme from the 1960’s when I was a toddler:
    “The zebra in the zoo is suffering from flu…”

    I remember just the first words, not more.

    Regards, Bernard

    I found more lines here:

    The zebra in the zoo
    is suffering from flu.
    It sneezes and it blows
    the tickling from his nose.
