Baboons, Monkeys, Elephants, and Skunks

Growing up I used to sing the following song (and apparently I sang it enough that I still know it by memory):

"I went to the animal fair.
The birds and the beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon was combing his auburn hair.
The monkey, he got drunk
and sat on the elephant's trunk.
The elephant sneezed
and fell on his knees.
And that was the end of the monk, the monk.
And that was the end of the monk."

Okay, I used to sing a song about a drunk monkey sitting on an elephant's trunk and dying as a result. Say what?!? I don't think I even knew what drunk meant until I was thirteen. And really, how often do baboons comb their hair? Much less, by the light of the moon. What kind of children's song is this?

When I started teaching, my first year was in Pre-K (never again y'all). One of the first things I heard was the song remade:

"I went to the animal fair,
The birds and the beasts were there,
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair,
The monkey bumped the skunk,
And sat on the elephant's trunk;
The elephant sneezed and fell to his knees,
And that was the end of the monk,
The monk, the monk, the monk,
The monk, the monk, the monk." 

My co-teacher had never heard the original version. Boy howdy was she missing out. But really, I don't think that the parents would appreciate me teaching their kids about drunk monkeys. Although, you have to the admit the first one is more interesting. And it also speaks to the dangers of excessive drinking . . . and sitting on an elephant's trunk. However, the second one speaks to the dangers of bumping a skunk. So I guess they both have their strong points.

Am I the only one that sang this song?
