Watch out Mr. Lion don't bite me
Shout down, if you wanna go free
I'll hear when you call and I answer you all: grau grau grau.

Some people aren't nice to lions
Some people aren't nice to hippos
We better think twice let's try and be nice
Grau grau grau

Men are mild and the lions are wild
that's what most people say
But I have seen that magic thing
that lions just like to play
I know I'm not drunk, it's not the sun
that makes me feel this way
But the lions are mild and men are wild
and children just like to play

So please Mr. Man don't shoot me
Don't catch me, don't take me away
It's here where I live, let's forget and forgive
