roger, the rhino
hi everyone, i’m roger the rhino
i do love my girl, her name is delilah
she’s the sweetest girl, you can imagine
a heart so pure, you won’t find a stain
as of last week, there are rumors around
i don’t want them to be, want them to be true
it’s about my little girl, i’m scared to the bone
i can’t sleep all night, it’s about me and her
you won’t find a girl, like that anywhere
from sumatra island to the heart of africa
it was love at first sight, just look at her horn
so delicate and fine, chiseled by michelangelo
there’re rumors around, they wanna take her away
take her to another zoo, to make babies there too
we’re dying species they say, but the whole thing won’t work
it won’t work you’ll see, cos she only loves me

love to dig
we can hardly see or hear but we don’t care
coz where we live there ain’t too much light nor air
we maybe strange and weird, well that’s what we are
and we feed our babies our faeces coz that’s what they want
- yeah we’re the naked moles
we have no brown fur and only little hair
some people call us ugly, well we don’t care
but what we have is teeth like no other
and we use them to dig tunnels and deep, deep holes
- coz we’re the naked moles
yeah we’re the naked moles,
and we love to dig,
coz diggin’ is fun and our live is fun
they can call us weird but we know we’re not,
we’re sweet and cute and we love to dig,
yeah diggin is fun, deep deep we dig,
yeah diggin is fun
you may be surprised to hear that we don’t ever drink
that’s coz we’re much more special than you think
best of all is we never feel no pain
the absence of substance p being to blame
- yeah we’re the naked moles
where we live there’s hardly snow or rain
we prefer the deserts of africa to those in spain
yet we don’t mind to live in fake ones like in this zoo
where we look at freaks like you and you and you
- coz we’re the naked moles
mister, mister, don’t you really know
which side of the windowpane is right or wrong?
mister, mister, don’t you ever want to change sides
and live a life of peace and eternal bliss?

silky lingerie
sticky, slimy and greasy
the kind of animal no-one wants to see,
not the kitchen nor in the zoo,
but we’re gonna sing a song to you
cooked cocoon
silky lingerie
cooked cocoon
looks so hot
not so much a butterfly
expectations go high
and after we die
you will dye - for delicate temptation
a chinese secret
victoria’s secret
transparent veil
a lover’s grail
sticky, slimy and greasy
the kind of animal no-one wants to see,
not the kitchen nor in the zoo,
but we just sang a song to you

giraffe
you won’t believe what happend today
i was served marius the giraffe
what a delicious meal this was
and species appropriate food
only i missed the hunting
only i missed the elegant
movement of my lionesses
when chasing down the pray
stalking the victim – and
then the deadly bite
it was like noma to us
unforgettable the fresh meat
the soft meat under the dotted coat
i can’t understand the fuss
the world is in shock, it was cold blooded murder they say
how dare you lay hands on this innocent creature they say
you call yourself humans but that seems just a word to me
you get all worked up and turn away your own kind

rock surfing
yeah, up and down the cliff
we jump up make our bellies stiff
we smell the fish and dive in
it is the joy, it is the joy we are driving
yes, we look so incredibly cute
in our natural white-tie suit
and we are curious and fearless
our up-right posture is peerless
come on, come on
tonight we’re rock surfing
we somehow seem to be
a little bit left behind
but, you have to keep in mind:
the clumsiness of our motion
will vanish in the ocean
all your applause and rapture
is owed to the fact we capture
your very own reduced abilities
and distract you from hostilities

charming snake
like I’m frozen: in the heat of the sand
i don’t move, an ornamented velvet band
i shine in the sunlight that i enjoy
our babies have been frank zappa’s toy
i slowly will start to move
when i get into the pungi groove
i will rise up, expand my hood
i’d strike, if i only could
cleopatra died through my sister’s bite
that she did so, shows our ancient might
the end we bring is slow and certain
your tissue breaks like an old curtain
remember i am the royal snake
don’t you stare at me, i stare back
and in my alert posture i keep track
of all the movements that you make
remember i am the royal snake

i've been living at this zoo
amongst the monkeys yelling
i've been living at the zoo
and heard the parrots tellin'
yet every time at the zoo - i miss you
i've been living in this zoo
amongst the owlish features
I’ve been living in this zoo
among the good lord's creatures
my truck has been idling,
no more hauling wages
all the lonely creatures,
are hiding in their cages
when will you be back
in my dreary life's pages
at the zoo I see foxes
at the zoo I see oxes - yet i still miss you
at the zoo I see lynxes
at the zoo I see minxes - yet i still miss you
i've been living in this zoo
where mum and dad were dating
i've been living in this zoo
where ma and dad were mating
and yet i keep waiting - for you
i've been living at this zoo
amongst the mighty oxes
i've been living at this zoo
amongst boring foxes
i've been living in this zoo
like an animal in boxes
and yet i keep waiting - for you

lover's lake killifish
i wanna be a great white
i wanna be surfer’s delight
i wanna be a shark
i wanna be a shark
i wanna be the main attraction in this park
endemic to drying ponds on the bahamas
our dying is just one of our dramas
we are so awfully neglected and small
there’s nothing fancy about us at all
imagine we got shiny teeth in enormous jaws
fed like sea lions with lots of applause
when we approach with our distinctive fin
and then we attack with our evil grin
then imagine me in the wide ocean
restless and always in permanent motion
then i attack mr. fanning in a competition
long live prejudice, fear and superstition
shark attack

wild boars
the spirits aren’t always high
the rivers run severely dry
the angels forget to weep
and the roads get narrow and steep
wild, wild boars
wild boars aren’t pigs gone wild
beware, beware of the lunatic child
the color of the autumn leaves
beauty that shines and deceives
speak out my lonely friend
courage to the tempted hand
do you hear me, do you fear me
i am the wild boar, there’s nothing i care for
