Lyrics

(Shel silverstein)

The tiger, he looked out of his cage and smiled
He said come ere 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

(Yeah)

It's one step from the jungle to the zoowoowoo
You better watch out or they're gonna get you too
(Um mmm)
They clip your claws, cut your hair, make a pussy cat outa you
It's one step from the jungle to the zoo

He said son when you go runnin through the grass
You better look out for all the hidden traps
They'll feed you sweets and goodies 'til you're too fat to move
Then it's one step from the jungle to the zoo

(Aahhhhh)

It's one step from the jungle to the zoowoowoo
You better watch out or they're gonna get you too
(Um mmm)
They clip your claws, yank your fangs, make a pussy cat outa you
It's one step from the jungle to the zoo

(Ohya)

Only one step from the jungle to the zoowoowoo
(Woahwoahwah)
You better watch out or they're gonna get you too
(Woahwoahyeah)
They clip your claws, (ahoo)cut your hair, make a pussy cat outa you
(Olyauhuhuh)
Its one step from the jungle to the zoo

(Wohwohwohwohwohwoh)

(Ahooya)
Its one step from the jungle to the zoowoowoo
You better watch out or they're gonna get you too....
(Yeahs)
They clip your claws, cut your hair, make a pussy cat outa you
