Our Zoo

We must live in a zoo
The way that you do
Cry Crocodile tears
Always on cue

As you Monkey around
With every guy in town
Slick as a Snake
With the decisions you make

Craning my neck 
Like the tallest Giraffe
As my  Elephant mind
Never forgets

And when I bring it up
Say that I've had enough
You scream in my face
Like a wild Whooping Crane 

Are you serious 
Says this Laughing Hyena
I can't take it no more
Like a Lion I roar

It's hard to keep up
With you Miss Cheetah
Thick skin I have grown
Like a Rhino 

I'm tired of your lies
This Owl's become wise
Now that I think of it 
This all seems to fit

So I'll see you later 
Alligator
It's too hard to cage you
I'm outta this Zoo
