the stupendium - gotta build a zoo! lyrics

[zoo contractor]
so here you stand on an expanse of land
a plain little plain or a bunch of sand
they say mice and men pen the best laid plans
there’s a lot of other animals to lend a hand
or a hoof or a paw or a weird little claw
if you recall, the jungle has a law
but that jungle has to tussle with a fundamental flaw
‘cus survival of the fittest doesn’t mix with chainsaws
the law advises it’s dog eat dog
but how does that apply to the little tree frog?
who was never meant to ever come up against
a predator whose method is the fact they need logs
or pump them with pollutants, hunt them for amus-m-nt
no evolution could account for all the humans
crashing into habitats and ravaging the planet
we inhabit as if we can get a new one
there is a solution, you could be a part of it
there’s a revolution, you could be the start of it
better get a move on whilst there’s still a chance of it
if there’s no improvement this could be the last of it
nature was a haven, now it needs saving
no more conversation, time for conservation
we’ve all got a part to do to help the world pull through
but you, you gotta build a zoo

this is the law of the jungle
as old and as true as the sky
the forest protected shall prosper
the forest neglected shall die
you’ve an apt-tude to change att-tudes
‘cus we have to prove it’s their planet too
grab your shovel, there’s work to do
the world’s in trouble, you gotta build a zoo

(heyo heyo)
you gotta build a zoo
(heyo heyo)

can’t find thrill rides? well you’re not supposed to
mother nature’s the greatest roller-coaster
you may see beasts presented in doc-mentaries
they weren’t meant to be seen from the sofa
vets to hire and feed to pick
gotta check the climate and the keeper shifts
environment requirements are easily missed
‘ooh, that tiger looks a bit miffed!’
tropical or gr-ssland, get to know the biomes
make sure the giraffes can’t get to where the pride roams
and if they can climb plants, careful where they might grow
or there is a high chance they could hitch a ride home
nature is a fuse that’s already been ignited
every profit will be offered up to fight it
just remember the world’s in crisis
when you have to justify the gift shop prices
each unique creature can teach us
each has secrets to discern
from the speediest of cheetah
to the teeniest of worms
preservation is education
every lesson spreads in turn
but for each and every thing you teach
there are ten more things to learn

this is the law of the jungle
as old and as true as the sky
the planet respected shall prosper
the planet dissected shall die
you’ve an apt-tude to change att-tudes
‘cus we have to prove it’s their planet too
if you’ve built one then build a few
we’ve just begun, you gotta build a zoo

(heyo heyo)
you gotta build a zoo
(heyo heyo)
you gotta build a zoo
(heyo heyo)
you gotta build a zoo
(heyo heyo)

gotta’ buy a bunch of better bedding for bon0bos
bought too many bears? grizzlies prefer it solo
double check the barrier surrounding the hippos – go
do another count, think you’re missing a komodo
gotta feed the hyenas and clean out the lemurs
do some more research on the goliath bird eater
check the chimpanzee that you keep in quarantine
buy a couple extra heaters for the cheetahs

this is the law of the jungle
as old and as true as the sky
the natural world is a wonder
but we have to help it survive
you’ve an apt-tude to change att-tudes
‘cus we have to prove it’s their planet too
if we don’t fix it we’re all through
you’re on a mission, to build a zoo
