| 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
|
