There’s two kinds of seagulls:
He-gulls and she-gulls. He-gulls like she-gulls
And that’s why there’s seagulls.

There’s two kinds of pythons:
Girlthons and guythons.
Girlthons like guythons
And that’s why there’s pythons.

There’s two kinds of wombats:
Dadbats and Mombats.
Dadbats dig Mombats
And that’s why there’s wombats.

And there’s two kinds of squirrels:
Himmels and herrels.
Himmels are nuts about herrels
And that’s why there’s squirrels.

Most creatures come in pairs.
That’s the way they mingle.
One kind only would be lonely.
It takes two to tingle.

There’s two kinds of penguins:
Ladyguins and menguins.
Ladyguins flip for menguins
And that’s why there’s penguins.

There’s two kinds of blackbirds:
Jillbirds and Jackbirds. Jillbirds thrill Jackbirds
And that’s why there’s blackbirds.

And there’s two kinds of lizards:
Herzards and hizards.
Herzards think hizards are wizards
And that’s why there’s lizards.

And there’s two kinds of llamas:
Ppapas and mmamas.
They wear different pajamas
And that’s why there’s llamas.

Most creatures come in pairs.
That’s the way they mingle.
One kind only would be lonely.
It takes two to tingle.

There’s two kinds of peoples:
He-ples and she-ples. He-ples like she-ples.
And she-ples like he-ples.
And that’s why there’s me-ples, and you-ples,
And peoples.
