"Birds and animals, lots of different kinds"

I have this song stuck in my head that I remember from a childhood TV show, and I can find no evidence of it on the internet.

The lyrics:

Birds and animals, lots of different kinds
Wild ones and tame ones
On the farm and in the jungle
In your home and at the zoo
In the pet store too
Even dinosaurs from long ago
 
I remember it being sung on close harmony by both male and female voices in a way that made me first think it was Sharon, Lois & Bram, but I can find no evidence that Sharon, Lois & Bram sang it. (Although as I replay the song in my head, I can only place two voices, one male and one female. However, that aspect of my memory isn't necessarily reliable.)
 
I'm nearly certain it's from a TV show, so it would have been a TV show available by antenna in Southern Ontario in the 1980s. 

It's highly unlikely that I imagined this or wrote it myself (it wouldn't have occurred to me to write a song like this without a rhymier rhyme scheme). Anyone have any idea where it did come from?
