I am desperatly looking for the words for the story or song that begins:
Look there Daddy can you see there's a horse in his pajamas. No that's not what it is at all that's an animal people call a Zebra I see, but it still looks like a horse in his pajamas to me..... then it goes on about a penguine, a cat and others I think.

I remember this song, too - and all I can tell you is that the lyric is:
...there's a horse in STRIPED pajamas.....
...but it still looks like a horse in STRIPED pajamas to me.
It was a very cute song, and now you've got ME completely puzzled about the rest of the lyrics!! :-)
The other song lyric that I'm concerned with is IT'S ANOTHER BE GOOD TO MOMMY DAY - anybody got any clues about that one?

THE HORSE IN STRIPED PAJAMAS ©1948 zell/kreeb
Well here we are at the zoo Mr. Greenjeans
Say Captain, I've never been here before. Do you know the names of all these animals?
Well I do Mr. Greenjeans, but do you?
Well now let me see…
Say there Captain, do you see? There's a horse in striped pajamas
No, that's not what it is at all. That's an animal people call a zebra
I see, but it still looks like a horse in striped pajamas to me
Say there Captain, do you see? There's a bird in his tuxedo
No, that's not what it is at all. That's an animal people call a penguin
I see, but it still looks like a bird in his tuxedo to me
There's a fish with whiskers on
That's a seal, for real
There's a teddy with two black eyes
That's how they planned the little panda
Hey there Captain do you see? There's a cat with polka dots on
No that's not what it is at all. That's an animal people call a leopard
I see, but it still looks like a cat with polka dots on to me
Now there's that fish with whiskers on
No, No for real that's the seal
And there's that teddy with the two black eyes
I told you that's how they planned the little panda
Well look there Captain, do you see? There's a bird with a big umbrella
No, that's not what it is at all. That's an animal people call a peacock
I see, but it still looks like a bird with his umbrella to me
Well, do you think you know them now?
Well no matter what you say Captain, when I get home this afternoon
I'll say to everyone there:
I saw a fish with whiskers on
You saw a teddy with two black eyes
I saw a cat with polka dots
You saw a bird in his tuxedo
And of course the horse in striped pajamas
