Joshua Giraffe Lyrics

Joshua Giraffe was born in a zoo
He lived there, too, for two years
And a half he hasn't had a bath
My mommy doesn't lick me
Even when I'm sticky from
Candy floss, candy apples, popcorn
Soft drinks, jelly beans and gumdrops
And there must be something better
Than living in this cage
But I'm really not too sure
Because I'm rather short of ageJoshua Giraffe was feeling kind of sad
Things were going bad
How little of life he had
Wasting away with no room to play
Trapped in a zoo with buffalo poo
So he went next door to the elephant
And asked him what to do
I'm wasting away with no room to play

I'm trapped in a zoo, with buffalo poo
The elephant was very old and gray
And he had a huge balloon bottom
He said, Never fear Joshua
A vision will appearThat night a dream came to Joshua and
Joshua saw animals, like crazy monkeys
And a whole pile of
Hippypotostropasuses
And flitty moths, frogs size twelve
And sleazy lizards
And a tribe of nasty saviars
But Joshua wasn't afraid
Because he sang himself this songNothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Congo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Congo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Congo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Congo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the Congo
Nothing can go wrong-o
I'm in the CongoEven in his dream he knew
He'd never get away
Not even for a day
Then a peanut hit him on the nose
Joshua Giraffe was back in the zoo
What could he do
Awakened from his dream
He'd never be the same
Because of things he'd seen
He'd seen
Alligators, crocodiles, tree sloths
Anacondas, cobras and
Large winged moths
Orangutans, baboons eating grapes
Gibbons, rude mandrills and just plain apesBut Joshua was lucky
He had some special friends
And that day they went to the zoo
But he was up tight so they waited till the night
And they chopped his cage in two
He discovered he could fly and
He soared into the sky with them
Wrapped around his neck
And they haven't come back yet
So if you see them get a netThat's right, they haven't come back yet
But when they do, they say they are
Going to free all the animals from their cages
No matter how new or modern
Even some pets, too
So if on your way home today
You happen to findA baboon basking in the balcony
Or a lion licking a lemon in the lobby
Or a python perched in the pantry
A wildebeest in the W.C
With a turtle twirling in your tub
Don't be afraid, just say you're a friend
Of their friendJoshua Giraffe, Joshua, Joshua
