A Giraffe Afraid of Heights Deep inside the jungle green Lives the sweetest tall giraffe you’ve ever seen Stef has got the longest neck in town But he never likes to look way up or down When he tilts his chin to touch the sky Wobbly knees begin to shake and butterfly So he keeps his eyes right down below Where the leafy little bushes gently grow The zebras laugh and call his name "Come up top and join our climbing game!" Stef just winks and shakes his head He prefers the velvet grass instead Oh, Stef won't climb up to the trees He likes the moss and bumblebees He counts the ants along the track And skips the dizzy heart attack No floating high above the cloud He stays right where his feet are bound 'Cause with your head close to the ground, Life is wonderfully sound! Every bug upon the dirt Wears a shiny little speckled beetle shirt Stef bends down to smell the meadow sweet Watching tiny busy workers at his feet When a golden leaf drifts from a limb Like a tiny present blowing down to him He just catches it upon his snout With a happy little wiggle and a shout The zebras laugh and call his name "Come up top and join our climbing game!" Stef just winks and shakes his head He prefers the velvet grass instead Oh, Stef won't climb up to the trees He likes the moss and bumblebees He counts the ants along the track And skips the dizzy heart attack No floating high above the cloud He stays right where his feet are bound 'Cause with your head close to the ground, Life is wonderfully sound! He doesn't need the tallest view To feel the sun or see the blue The hedge is soft, his path is wide With simple joy on every side He walks along his cozy lane Without a spin inside his brain Oh, Stef won't climb up to the trees! He loves the dirt and summer breeze! He counts the ants along the track No dizzy spells to hold him back! He smiles so wide, he feels so proud Above the dirt, below the cloud! 'Cause with your head close to the ground, Life is wonderfully sound! Yeah, right down by his toes Where the sweet clover grows With your head close to the ground, Life is wonderfully sound!
