Life Is a Zoo

One sunny day at the central zoo Biff the gorilla grabbed the zoo keepers key Before the employees had even a clue Went and set all the animals free Started out on Monkey Island With the Orangutans and Chimpanzees With the Giraffe's next in line Cause they needed someone to see over the tops of the trees When they were through letting their friends loose And all the keepers locked up in their place They hit the streets and before anyone knew The entire human race was in a cage Now the animals are doing their very best As members of society at large Still life is a mess if you haven't already guessed Shouldn't have left the baboons in charge With the pressures in life starting to show Half the animal kingdom now in therapy No one told them so they didn't know That life in a cage was actually free While the people enjoy themselves at the zoo Three solid meals and all the naps they can take Sunning themselves by the wading pool Never wanting to go back to the so called good old days Guess no matter which side you are on The other side always looks better to you Just remember if the time ever does come Where ever you find that you're at...life is a zoo
