(Shel Silverstein)



The tiger, he looked out of his cage and smiled

He said come here boy, I want to talk to you a while

He said I once was running wild and free just the same as you

But it's one step from the jungle to the zoo



Its one step from the jungle to the zoo

You better watch out or they're gonna get you too

They'll clip your claws, cut your hair, make a pussy cat out of you

Its one step from the jungle to the zoo



He said son when you go running through the grass

You bet look out for all the hidden traps

They'll feed you sweets and goodies 'til you're too fat to move

Then its one step from the jungle to the zoo



Its one step from the jungle to the zoo

You better watch out or they're gonna get you too

They'll clip your claws, yank your fangs, make a pussy cat out of you

Its one step from the jungle to the zoo



Only one step from the jungle to the zoo

You better watch out or they're gonna get you too

They'll clip your claws, cut your hair, make a pussy cat out of you

Its one step from the jungle to the zoo



Only one step from the jungle to the zoo

You better watch out or they're gonna get you too.....
