The New Zoo

The flyer at the store
a new zoo in town

I loaded up my monster truck
Almost ran over the Nascar loving fan
The desert hot that day
Entering the park; screeching to a stop

Running to the Cheetah cage
I heard a terrifying shout
Was it the smell of meat
That made them meow
Running into view

Nice kitty I heard them say
As the monkey went walking by
I wonder what he was thinking
Talking to himself

Sweating in the noisy zoo
Crushing a can under my foot
It was so fast, the scary lion
Leaping right in front of me

I was flying as I hit the gate
Man was that fun
