So, here you stand on an expanse of land
A plain little plain or a bunch of sand
They say mice and men pen the best laid plans
There's a lot of other animals to lend a hand
Or a hoof or a paw, or a weird little claw
If you recall, the jungle has a law
But that jungle has to tussle with a fundamental flaw
'Cause survival of the fittest doesn't mix with chainsaws
The law cries, "dog eat dog"
But how does that apply to the little tree frog?
Who was never meant to ever come up against
A predator whose method is the fact they need logs
Or pump them with pollutants, hunt them for amusement
No evolution could account for all the humans
Crashing into habitats and ravaging the planet
We inhabit as if we can get a new one
There is a solution, you could be a part of it
There's a revolution, you could be the start of it
Better get a move on, while there's still a chance of it
If there's no improvement, this could be the last of it
Nature was a haven, now it needs saving
No more conversation, time for conservation
We've all got a part to do to help the world pull through
But you, you gotta build a zoo
This is the law of the jungle
As old and as true as the sky
The forest protected shall prosper
The forest neglected shall die
You've an aptitude to change attitudes
'Cause we have to prove it's their planet, too
Grab your shovel, there's work to do
The world's in trouble, you gotta build a zoo
(Heyo, heyo)
You gotta build a zoo
(Heyo, heyo)
Can't find thrill rides? Well, you're not supposed to
Mother Nature's the greatest rollercoaster
You may see beasts presented in documentaries
They weren't meant to be seen from the sofa
Vets to hire and feed to pick
Gotta check the climate and the keeper shifts
Environment requirements are easily missed
"That tiger looks a bit miffed!"
Tropical or grassland, get to know the biomes
Make sure the giraffes can't get to where the pride roams
And if they can climb plants, careful where they might grow
Or there is a high chance they could hitch a ride home
Nature is a fuse that's already been ignited
Every profit will be offered up to fight it
Just remember that the world's in crisis
When you have to justify the gift shop prices
Each unique creature can teach us
Each has secrets to discern
From the speediest of cheetahs
To the teeniest of worms
Preservation is education
Every lesson spreads in turn
But for each and every thing you teach
There's ten more things to learn
This is the law of the jungle
As old and as true as the sky
The planet respected shall prosper
The planet dissected shall die
You've an aptitude to change attitudes
'Cause we have to prove it's their planet, too
If you've built one, then build a few
We've just begun, you gotta build a zoo
(Heyo, heyo)
You gotta build a zoo
(Heyo, heyo)
You gotta build a zoo
(Heyo, heyo)
You gotta build a zoo
(Heyo, heyo)
Gotta buy a bunch of better bedding for bonobos
Brought too many bears? Grizzlies prefer it solo
Double-check the barrier surrounding the hippos, go
Do another count, think you're missing a Komodo
Gotta feed the hyenas, clean out the lemurs
Do some more research on the Goliath birdeater
Check the chimpanzee that you keep in quarantine
Buy a couple extra heaters for the cheetahs
This is the law of the jungle
As old and as true as the sky
The natural world is a wonder
But we have to help it survive
You've an aptitude to change attitudes
'Cause we have to prove it's their planet, too
If we don't fix it, we're all through
You're on a mission, to build a zoo (to build a zoo, to build a zoo)
A plain little plain or a bunch of sand
