Christmas at the Zoo Lyrics
And I knew what I should do
I thought I'd free the animals
All locked up at the zoo
The lamas were unleashed
The snakes and seals could all get out
But they refused to leave
They're not happy at the zoos
But they preferred to save themselves
They seemed to think they could
All the birds and kangaroos all said
"Thanks but no thanks, man
But to be concerned is good"
In the middle of the night
Walking through the state park zoo
And everything is white
this song just reminds me of childhood and how you would work out all these ridiculous plans in your head (like freeing all the animals from the zoo) and would think that they are perfectly reasonable ideas "started to snow on Christmas Eve In the middle of the night Walking through the state park zoo And everything is white" just seems like pure childhood fantasy. it taps into that optimism and recklessness that we sometimes forget even ever existed there is probably much deeper meaning, but i'm struggling to find it!,
true
true
I thinks its about people who are unhappy with something but unwilling to try and change
Best Christmas Song Ever
Seconded.
I'm try to make some kind of socio-politcal-religous-comparsion with the animals, its tough but do-able.
Thirded. Perfect from start to finish. Whenever I hear that first line I just smile and nod and get lost in my thoughts.
this is a great song espically if your smoking weed cause you feel like going to the zoo and letting the animals out
A guy feels bad for animals being locked in the zoo so he tries to let them out, but ironically they decide not leave.
Good fuckin tune I thought of freeing the animals once but, they all would eat me or attack me im guessing.
We have good intentions that sometimes will lead us nowhwere. In this song the situation is already perfect, so the end is happy. Definitely a good fantasy world. So let's enjoy it.
