The Zoo

All the snakes are in the zoo, Pope Benedict
All the dumb hippos are shut away, Pope Benedict
All the toads are asleep, Pope Benedict
All the birds are in their cages, Pope Benedict
All the rats have scurried away, Pope Benedict
All the zookeepers have locked the doors, Pope Benedict

But the predators, the lions? They are still here, Pope Benedict
Ready to lurch,
And they are dangerous, Pope Benedict
Dangerous to you, your people, your church

Don't pray for the lions, Pope Benedict
Lock them away, Pope Benedict
Lock them away soon,
Keep safe your zoo.
