Down At The Jamboree

It was lost some time ago and no one ever thought to look

For what was missing was not written down in some old dusty book

You could to feel it more than see it; like balance or like karma

Everything had its purpose and we shared this place with honor

So I’m going to try to fix this break between animal and man

I’m gonna start by tearin’ apart the way I make social plans



Won’t throw some normal soiree or give another boring party

It’s time the world sees; fun ain’t just for you and me

Yes, next time I throw a shindig; I’ll be sure to save some seats

For those with whiskers, wings and fins; four legs and furry feet

Now I’m not picky; don’t protest much; It’s not like me to brag

But I’d rather head on down to where it’s all hops, jumps and wags



Summon the fertile and the feral; from the barnyard to the kennel

Open the coops and aviaries; shoo the tops of the libraries

Invite the zoos and estuaries; call the fleas and the bees

O’er the plastic in the seas; have the beast and fowl and folk alike

Down at the jamboree



There’s something special about the kind of films I like to watch

Ones with kooky critters cracking jokes and kicking dumb dudes in the crotch

I knew it as a little kid; I know it more now that I’m older

Without our furry friends around the world would be a whole lot colder

So promise me next time you have your friends over for food

That you set some places at the table for your pets and their friends too



Summon the fertile and the feral; from the barnyard to the kennel

Open the coops and aviaries; shoo the tops of the libraries

Invite the zoos and estuaries; call the fleas and the bees

O’er the plastic in the seas; have the beast and fowl and folk alike
