If I Ran the Zoo -2004
I’ll hunt in the Jungles of Hippo-no-Hungus
And bring back a flock of wild Bippo-no-Bungus!
The Bippo-no-Bungus from Hippo-no-Hungus
Are better than those down in Dippo-no-Dungas
And smarter than those out in Nippo-no-Nungas.
And that’s why I’ll catch ‘em in Hippo-no-Hungus
Instead of those others in Nungas and Dungas.
And people will say when they see these Bips bounding,
“This zoo keeper, New Keeper’s simply astounding!
He travels so far that you’d think he would drop!
When do you suppose this young fellow will stop?”
Stop…?
Well, I should
But I won’t stop until
I’ve captured the Fizza-ma-Wizza-Ma-Dill,
The world’s biggest bird from the Island of Gwark
Who only eats pine trees and spits out the bark.
And boy! When I get him back home to my park,
The whole world will say, “Young McGrew’s made his mark.
He’s built a zoo better than Noah’s Whole Ark!
These wonderful, marvelous beasts that he chooses
Have made him the greatest of all the McGrewses!”
