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
