## Summary

The song begins with Coca popping out of the bushes acting crazy. She then pops out of one of them with a daisy in her mouth. Afterwards, the same first scene is reused, and then it moves onto the next story. The next story begins with the trout hopping over to a tree to head to its giant fish bowl. It swims around in the bowl going to get a lounging chair, and then looks outside on its chair sipping a drink. The next story opens with Chulo (portrayed as being Japanese) wearing a kimono just silently sitting in the jungle. He then jumps out wielding his katana slicing something, which is revealed to just be bananas. The next story begins with the cow sleeping in bed. She then gets up holding a spoon. She sleepwalks over to the mirror, and when she gets to it, her head in the mirror turns into a clock. She then goes walking off a ledge, however instead of falling off, she still keeps walking and is now floating. The segment ends with her going back to bed. The final story opens up with the heron in the park playing hopscotch. When she’s close to the final space, she decides that she’s gonna try to land on it with both of her legs, however she falls on the floor when she tries to do that. Afterwards, the video ends.

## Letra

(Música)

Si alguna vez vemos a una foca

que junta margaritas con la boca

que fuma y habla sola

que escribe con la cola

llamemos al doctor la foca loca.

Si alguna vez vemos a una trucha

que en lo alto de un árbol hizo la cucha

que solamente nada

en agua muy mojada

señores esta trucha está enfermucha.

Si alguna vez vemos a un mono

que duerme la siesta con kimono

qué cosa rara es

decile japonés

era un mono en kimono haciendo nono.

Una vaca que come con cuchara

que tiene un reloj en vez de cara

que vuela y habla inglés

sin duda alguna es

una vaca rarísima muy rara.

¿Saben por qué la garza colorada

en una sola pata está parada?

porque le gusta más

y piensa que quizás

si levanta las dos se cae sentada.
