Once I went to a zoo ,
And asked a fox
How do you do ?
He said , " the smartest I was ,
Abode by the laws ,
I was happy in the wild ,
Endured hot cold and mild "
Now , I am trapped and caged ,
Got weakened and aged ,
Though fed and nourished ,
I am hungry and enraged ,
Would someone listen to me ,
I want to be free ,
I ain’t for a show ,
Would you please let me go ,
You men are cruel ,
First you kill and destroy ,
When we are left a few ,
Then you capture , subdue
And lock us in a zoo
