VERSE TWO

So show some self reliance
Come in and see our clients
But do not feed the giant yaks
You learn about the lions
And advertising tie-ins
And maybe learn some science facts

REFRAIN x2 (during animal rap)

ANIMAL RAP

So wipe off your windshield so you can see
The elephant, the monkey and the chimpanzee, canaries, chikaris*, the bears are all
the cheetahs, cicadas, gorillas, and gators, the emus, and the llamas very similar to the
turtle, and the tortoise, and the dolphins and the porpoises, mice, lice, goose, moose
Welcome to the zoo zoo zoo

VERSE 3.1

We are the topiary creatures
We're early multimedia
So our lips don't have to move exact
But our director, Sammy
Says we could win a Grammy
If we let you interact

REFRAIN

VERSE 3.2

We're very very creatures
We're very pleased to meet youse
I haven't written this verse yet
But uh I will write it
And it will sound much better
Than when we had uh Wet Wet Wet

REFRAIN

Humongous Entertainment 1995

Note: In some versions of the game, the "topiary creatures" at the entrance to the zoo
nudge and wink, in others they burst into a version of the song that uses verse 3.2
written this verse yet) instead of verse 3.1 (very multimedia). 3.1 is heard during the 
credits. The song was written and performed by George Sanger and, in some versions, a few
his friends.

* "Chikari"
This was a mistake on the writer's part.  He was apparently thinking of Chikara
n. [Hind.] (Zo["o]l.) (a) The goat antelope (Tragops Bennettii) of India. (b) The Indian
antelope (Tetraceros quadricornis).}
and he may have gotten confused with "Chikari," the high drone strings of a sitar. I
the guys at Humongous just gave up and drew an odd, random animal.
