I. 
I know an elephant, name was Bob.
He liked to eat corn on the cob.
But, Bob got tired of corn one day
And decided to run away.

When he doesn't want to live in the zoo anymore?

He will come home to live with you.

Dale got tired of the beach one day
And decided to run away.

III.
I know a tiger, name was Tunisia.
Tried really hard to keep ya happy and please ya.
Tunisia got just plain tired one day
And decided to run away.

So, what will a tiger do
When he doesn't want to live in the zoo anymore?

So you and your new friends are playing in your room
doing stuff you shouldn't, like piling up all the dirty
clothes and jumping in, when you hear a knock on your door,
and you try to hide, but then she knocks again and says,
"It's your mother. May I come in?"  So, the door finally
opens, and she says, "Argh, this place looks like a zoo!"

IV.
So what will the animals do,
When they don't want to live at the zoo anymore?
Yeah what will the animals do? 
They will come home and live with you.

Hey what are we all gonna do,
When we don't want to live at the zoo anymore?
Yeah, what are we all gonna do? 
We're gonna come home and live with you,
Come home and live with you
Come home and live with you!
