Elephant don’t squash me Rhino please don’t tip my car over I just want to see you in the wild I don’t want to see you in a cage Or in a zoo or private park Or hear that there’s only two Of you left To put in the ark Cheetah run fast Run from the big game hunter And hide from the poacher Keep laughing Hyena While you still can While you still have the wild plains to run on Free from the encroaching man (Chorus skat) Come over to Come over to Oh you are so very tall Mr Giraffe sir Don’t let the lion take your baby when you let it fall From so high I love you Look out for the water buffalo You know That mother can get mighty angry If you get to close (Chorus bridge) And whatever you do Don’t go swimming in that river Or you will find You will deliver A meal On time to the crocodile Now we singers theres a lot of us And we all say Leave the hippopotamus Alone Just might be better to stay home Ha ha ha Oh so funny (Chorus skat bridge) Come over to Come over to Come over to Come over to Africa See the real animals in life See the real circle of life Yes see the circle of life Then go home And try to create it Yes try to create it The circle of life (Chorus outtro)
