The Zoo<\/p>\n
They say it\u2019s all happening at the zoo.
\nI don\u2019t believe it. I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s true.
\nI know the zoo is fun to see.
\nBut, there is other places I\u2019d rather be.
\nEspecially since the monkey\u2019s flung their poo.
\nThe laughing hyena was laughing at you.
\nThe tiger roared and charged the cage.
\nYou bet your booties I was afraid.
\nThe elephants are very smart.
\nBut, have you ever smelled one fart?
\nThe snakes hiss and have beady eyes.
\nThe lions, they wear a thin disguise.
\nI took a look at the gnu.
\nFor some reason, it reminded me of you.
\nThe giraffes are nice. They make no noise.
\nThe gorillas would break me up like toys.
\nAll the birds are pretty colored.
\nThey stink like bird poop, I uttered.
\nThe stupid seal got me wet.
\nPeople laughed. I wanted to forget.
\nThis place is freaking me out.
\nMaybe the animals know what it\u2019s about.
\nAs for me, let me out of here.
\nI would rather be home sipping a beer.<\/p>\n
