| Joshua Giraffe was born in a zoo
|
| He lived there, too, for two years
|
| And a half he hasn’t had a bath
|
| My mommy doesn’t lick me
|
| Even when I’m sticky
|
| From, candy floss, candy apples, popcorn
|
| Soft drinks, jelly beans and gumdrops
|
| And there must be something better
|
| Than living in this cage
|
| But I’m really not too sure
|
| Because I’m rather short of age
|
| Joshua Giraffe was feeling kind of sad
|
| Things were going bad
|
| How little of life he had
|
| Wasting away with no room to play
|
| Trapped in a zoo with buffalo poo
|
| So he went next door to the elephant
|
| And asked him what to do
|
| I’m wasting away with no room to play
|
| I’m trapped in a zoo, with buffalo poo
|
| The elephant was very old and gray
|
| And he had a huge balloon bottom
|
| And he said, «Never fear Joshua!
|
| For a vision will appear!»
|
| That night a dream came to Joshua and
|
| Joshua saw animals like crazy monkeys…
|
| And a whole pile of Hippypotostropasuses…
|
| And flitty moths…
|
| Frogs size twelve…
|
| And sleazy lizards…
|
| And a tribe of nasty saviars!
|
| But Joshua wasn’t afraid
|
| Because he sang himself this song
|
| Nothing can go wrong-o
|
| I’m in the Congo
|
| Nothing can go wrong-o
|
| I’m in the Congo
|
| Nothing can go wrong-o
|
| I’m in the Congo
|
| Nothing can go wrong-o
|
| I’m in the Congo
|
| Nothing can go wrong-o
|
| I’m in the Congo
|
| Nothing can go wrong-o
|
| I’m in the Congo
|
| Even in his dream he knew
|
| He’d never get away
|
| Not even for a day, then!
|
| A peanut hit him on the nose
|
| Joshua Giraffe was back in the zoo
|
| What could he do
|
| Awakened from his dream
|
| He’d never be the same
|
| Because of things he’d seen
|
| He’d seen
|
| Alligators, crocodiles, tree sloths (tree sloths)
|
| Anacondas, cobras and
|
| Large winged moths
|
| Orangutans, gorillas, baboons eating grapes
|
| Gibbons, rude mandrills, and just plain apes
|
| But Joshua was lucky
|
| He had some special friends
|
| And that day they went to the zoo
|
| But he was up tight so they waited till the night
|
| And they chopped his cage in two
|
| He discovered he could fly and
|
| He soared into the sky
|
| With them wrapped around his neck
|
| And they haven’t come back yet
|
| So if you see them get a net…
|
| Funicello, ho, ho
|
| Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho
|
| Oh-ho-ho, oh-ho-ho
|
| Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho
|
| Oh-ho-ho, oh-ho-ho
|
| Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho
|
| Oh-ho-ho, oh-ho-ho
|
| Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho
|
| Oh-ho-ho, oh-ho-ho…
|
| That’s right, they haven’t come back yet
|
| But when they do, they say they’re
|
| Going to free all the animals from their cages
|
| No matter how new or modern
|
| Even some pets, too
|
| So if on your way home today
|
| You happen to find
|
| A baboon basking in the balcony
|
| Or a lion licking a lemon in the lobby
|
| Or a python perched in the pantry
|
| A wildebeest in the W.C.,
|
| With a turtle twirling in your tub
|
| Don’t be afraid, just say you’re a friend
|
| Of their friend
