Awkward Menagerie, Awkward Menagerie! (To the tune of Waltzing Matilda...)

Hey Kids,

I have been bumbling about American Pavilion for the past two days, not quite sure what to do with myself with everyone gone. I hope all your adventures are off to a great start. If you find yourselves wishing you had something to sing other than Jaya Ganesha, there's always the Awkward Menagerie Theme Song:

I know they might be awkward
But guess who's friends with me?
A bunch of awkward beings
A whole menagerie...

Hey there Awkward Turtle
Pooping limitedly
You make a damn good miniature tank
And you giggle awkwardly

What's up Awkward Goose
With your strange and funny head
Always stuck in a trashy novel
A triple espresso before bed

Om Awkward Ramana
Your silence drew a crowd
You amble about with your funny walk
And your singing's rather loud

Cheers Awkward Cockroach
Always eating off the floor
Your wake-up yells are brutal
But you sound like a muppet when your throat is sore

Will we find you in Sadhana Forest
Oh you Awkward Kangaroo
When you ask me "wanna nuzzle?"
Makes me feel awkward too

You Awkward Mongoose you
Yelling in your sleep
Your vampire face is funny
But you're still kind of a creep

Greetings Awkward Eggplant
You stripped down with no fear
You only wear one t-shirt
But your t-zone's always clear

Namaste Awkward Kali
Please don't cut off my head
Do some advanced yoga postures
And let the fishies eat your toes instead

Priviet Awkward Unicorn
We've never seen you eat a thali
Cookies and truffles, three showers a day
You sure do a damn good Wall-E

Vanakam Awkward Mangy Dog
Living your life so free
You've got the books for your own private library
And the guts for drinking your own pee

Peace Awkward Universal Mother
You make me want to curl up in your lap
The only beings that fear you
Are the amoebas that you zap

Howdy Awkward Kingfisher
Would you like a G & T?
You are one classy broad
Just don't steal that baby

Caw! Awkward Crow
Our hats off to you
The heat here is a bit much
But with Ken and Sraddhalu you'll make it through

Awkward Awkward Ethan
Let me count the ways
You lice-ridden hair is gone
But your awkward's not a phase

I know they might be awkward
But guess who's friends with me?
A bunch of awkward beings
A whole menagerie
