Lyrics Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand

Sweet Zoo

I dreamed last night that I was a tiger in the jungle

But I was a big bad tiger, for a lion killed me

And then I was an elephant, a great big elephant

There wasn’t anything I couldn’t do

Till they caught and they brought me to the zoo

So I dreamed I was an alligator

-Crocodile? -No, alligator!

With a great big mouth

And four very funny little legs

Which are no good for dancing

So, then I was a dancing bear

And I was doing my dancing where the bears dance

But I was sneezing, ‘cause I was a dancing polar bear

And it was freezing

Then I dreamed I was a giraffe

I looked so ridiculous I wanted to laugh

But giraffes can’t talk, so how can they laugh?

Who ever saw a giraffe laugh?

Then I woke up

And I was not a tiger, or and elephant,

I was not an alligator. -Crocodile? -No, alligator!

I was not a dancing bear or a tall giraffe

I was only me...And that’s the way I’ll be!

Oh, that’s the way I’ll be

I enjoy being an oyster!
