Sung as a round.

[PART 1]
Thomson’s gazelle, with black stripes,
Thomson’s gazelle, with your pretty horn,
Thomson’s gazelle, with white feet,
Twitch your tail on an African morn.

[PART 2]
Twitch . . . twitch . . . twitch, twitch, tail,
Twitch . . . twitch . . . twitch, twitch, tail,
Twitch . . . twitch . . . twitch, twitch, tail,
Twitch your tail on an African morn.

[THE TWO PARTS ARE NOW SUNG AT THE SAME TIME]

Thomson’s gazelle, with black stripes,
(Twitch . . . twitch . . . twitch, twitch tail,)

Thomson’s gazelle, with your pretty horn,
(Twitch . . . twitch . . . twitch, twitch tail,)

Thomson’s gazelle, with white feet,
(Twitch . . . twitch . . .  twitch, twitch tail,)

Twitch your tail on an African morn.
Twitch your tail on an African morn.

[REPEAT LAST SECTION]
