(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.....
