Lyrics for Christmas at the Zoo

There wasn't any snow on Christmas Eve And I knew what I should do I thought I'd free the animals all locked up at the Zoo I opened up the fence where the peacocks were The lamas were unleashed The snakes and seals could all get out But they refused to leave All of the animals agreed They're not happy at the Zoos But they preferred to save themselves They seemed to think they could The elephants, orangutans And all the birds and kangaroos All said thanks but no thanks man To be concerned is good It started to snow on Christmas Eve in the middle of the night Walkin' through the State Park Zoo and everything is white
