The Aye Aye is a primate That lives in Madagascar She lives in trees and won’t come down No matter how nicely you ask her
She has big round yellow eyes That are her torches in the night They help her look for juicy bugs That are hiding out of sight
Tap tapping with her fingers long She knocks on the trunks of trees She’s quite polite and lady-like And will enter with an “If you please”
But once she finds some insects She quickly rips away the bark Then she sits on a cozy branch Enjoying her bug-feast in the dark / To dine finely in the dark?
For fun she scampers all along The branches of the trees Her squirelly tail like a balancing rail Helps her jump very easily
And that’s the tale of this creature odd That looks like a little bear The Aye Aye with her shining eyes That lives in Madagascar
