It's a shame, the slaughtering of the animal kingdom by poachers.
Swimming in the river were some elephants They were giving themselves a bath And over by the river bank Was a lonesome male giraffe From the murky waters peeking out Were a crocodiles eyes He had hold of a wildebeest That was taken by surprise From nowhere came a rhinoceros Who had something more to say He jumped onto the crocodile's back So the beast could get away A female cheetah was also there She was fishing for a meal But so were some hyenas They were looking for a steal A monkey and a chimpanzee Had been watching from the trees They groomed each other spotless And they ate each others fleas And soon the mighty lion came To have himself a drink When all the others heard his roar They left without a blink Then the sound of a gun was fired And it opened the lion's ears He heard the sound of a gun before And it's one thing that he fears In a jeep were poachers racing From a sheriff on their trail He was catching up to them To throw their butts in jail One by one the animals returned To get back to the water They all get to live another day Today, there is no slaughter
