What would you do, if stuck in a zoo, with lions and tigers galore
What would you do,if stuck in a zoo, with a sheep that was really hardcore
Would you try to escape (with the help of an ape) so that you could be happy and free
Would you sit there and cry, or just stare at the sky, in hope of the chance to flee

What would I do, if stuck in a zoo, with lions and tigers galore
What would I do,if stuck in a zoo, with a sheep that was really hardcore
I would say to the beasts, "lets have 50 feasts" and eat til' we nearly explode
I would say to the sheep, "FIND LITTLE BO PEEP, she'll be some where along the road"

At the end of the day, in the middle of May, the Beasts and I had our last feast
Our bellies were full, mine the size of a bull,but one duty had not been complete,
I couldn't remember what I had to do, but then I thought, "I'm in a zoo!" My friend the sheep has found LITTLE BO PEEP, and with that I exclaimed, "WAHOO"
