|
HE WAS THE KING OF THE ZOO, (king of the zoo)
|
YES, HE WAS, OH, HE WAS,
|
OOOOH. (OOOOH)
|
|
FACING HIS CROWD, HIS HEAD HIGH AND PROUD,
|
WHILE THEY THREW BREADCRUMBS, LAUGHING THROUGH THEIR GUMS.
|
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
|
|
HE WAS THE KING OF THE ZOO, (king of the zoo)
|
YES, HE WAS, OH, HE WAS,
|
OOOOH. (ooooh)
|
|
WHEN THE GATES WAS CLOSED AT NIGHT
|
AND NO ONE WAS IN SIGHT,
|
HE WOULD PACE AROUND WHAT WAS CALLED HIS GROUND.
|
DREAMING OF THE LAND IN HIS MINDS EYE,
|
ROARING, ROARING TO THE DARK SKY.
|
|
HE WAS A SHOW (show) STOPPER,
|
A MIND (mind) TOPPER,
|
HE WAS A DREAMER, (he was a dreamer) HE WAS A KING.
|
YES, HE WAS, (yes, he was) OH, HE WAS, (oh, he was)
|
OOOOH, THAT HE WAS.
|
|
SHOW STOPPER, MIND TOPPER,
|
SHOW STOPPER, MIND TOPPER,
|
SHOW STOPPER, MIND TOPPER,
|
SHOW STOPPER, MIND TOPPER,
|
SHOW STOPPER, MIND TOPPER.
