sweet zoo

Singer:barbra streisand

i dreamed last night that i was a tiger in the jungle

but i was a big bad tiger

for a lion killed me

and then i was an elephant

a great big elephant

there wasn't anything i couldn't do

till they caught and they brought me to a zoo

so i dreamed i was an alligator

-crocodile?

-no

alligator!

with a great big mouth

and four very funny little legs

which are no good for dancing

so

then i was a dancing bear

and i was doing my dancing where the bears dance

but i was sneezing

'cause i was a dancing polar bear

and it was freezing

then i dreamed i was a giraffe

i looked so ridiculous i wanted to laugh

but giraffes can't talk

so how can they laugh?

then i woke up

and i was not a tiger

or and elephant

i was not an alligator. -crocodile?

-no

alligator!

i was not a dancing bear or a tall giraffe

i was only me.and that's the way i'll be!

oh

that's the way i'll be

i enjoy being an oyster!
