JINGLE ZOO ROCK
©Gary Bowman (2008) Christmas Eve comes to the Metro Zoo, And there’s a man with a long, white beard With a jolly laugh, he gives out the invitations, As the Lions and the Tigers cheer! Hyenas giggling, The Snakes are wriggling, See the Hippopotamus spin, Crocs bring a party tray, Hear the Zebra say, “Now, let the party begin!” Sleigh bells ringing, Everybody swingin’, They’re rockin’ around the clock Hippin’ & a-hoppin’, Dancin’ & a-prancin’, (They’re) groovin’ to the Jingle Zoo Rock! Crash, Boom, Bang, The Orangutang, Is drumming to a jungle beat The Hippo is playing the air guitar, See the Rhinos, How they move their feet! Golden-bellied Mangabey, Swingin’ with the Chimpanzee, Raising such a hullabaloo! Cheetahs dance a tango, In the twirling snow, There’s a party at the Metro Zoo! Sleigh bells ringing, Everybody swingin’, They’re rockin’ around the clock Hippin’ & a-hoppin’, Dancin’ & a-prancin’, (They’re) groovin’ to the Jingle Zoo Rock! Rattlesnake shakes out a sassy rhythm, To a smoothe bossa nova tune Ring-tailed Lemur hops up on the stage, Man, You should have heard her croon! Thick-billed parrots squawk, They are making small talk, With the red-tailed Kangaroo, Hornbills share a mango, ‘Neath the mistletoe, What a party at the Metro Zoo! Sleigh bells ringing, Everybody swingin’, They’re rockin’ around the clock Hippin’ & a-hoppin’, Dancin’ & a-prancin‘, (They’re) groovin’ to the Jingle Zoo Rock! |
