If I Ran the Zoo
It’s a pretty good zoo,” said young Gerald McGrew, “And the fellow who runs it seems proud of it, too.”
“But if I ran the zoo,” said young Gerald McGrew, “I’d make a few changes, that’s just what I’d do…”
The lions and tigers and that kind of stuff
They have up here now are not quite good enough.
You see things like these in just any old zoo.
They’re awfully old-fashioned. I want something new!
So I’d open each cage. I’d unlock every pen,
Let the animals go, and start over again.
And, somehow or other, I think I could find
Some beasts of a much more unusual kind.
My New zoo will make people talk.
My New zoo will make people gawk.
At the strangest odd creatures that ever did walk.
