Do you know what I am?

 

 

Click, clack, click, clack

No, I’m not a knick-knack

Do you know what I am?

Can you do what I can?

 

Crash, clang, bang, bash

Eyes flash the cymbals smash

Put me down, see me go

Watch me give a tuneful show

 

Walking, marching, shuffling too

Do you need another clue?

 

Wind me up and I will roam

Romping, plodding through your home.

In a fancy stripy jacket,

Making such an awesome racket.

 

A very long and curly tail

Swirling like a garden snail

Brown and fluffy, squashed flat nose

Arms and legs and curly toes.

 

Do you know what I am?

Can you do what I can?

 

I am of course a children’s toy,

A lovable pal for girl or boy.

A wind-up monkey with a hat

To chase away that sneaky cat!
