Joshua Giraffe Lyrics - Baby Beluga - Raffi

Joshua Giraffe was born in a zoo 

He lived there, too, for two years 

And a half he hasn't had a bath 

My mommy doesn't lick me 

Even when I'm sticky from 

Candy floss, candy apples, popcorn 

Soft drinks, jelly beans and gumdrops 

And there must be something better 

Than living in this cage 

But I'm really not too sure 

Because I'm rather short of age 

Joshua Giraffe was feeling kind of sad 

Things were going bad 

How little of life he had 

Wasting away with no room to play 

Trapped in a zoo with buffalo poo 

So he went next door to the elephant 

And asked him what to do 

I'm wasting away with no room to play 

I'm trapped in a zoo, with buffalo poo 

The elephant was very old and gray 

And he had a huge balloon bottom 

He said, Never fear Joshua 

A vision will appear 

That night a dream came to Joshua and 

Joshua saw animals, like crazy monkeys 

And a whole pile of 

Hippypotostropasuses 

And flitty moths, frogs size twelve 

And sleazy lizards 

And a tribe of nasty saviars 

But Joshua wasn't afraid 

Because he sang himself this song 

Nothing can go wrong-o 

I'm in the Congo 

Nothing can go wrong-o 

I'm in the Congo 

Nothing can go wrong-o 

I'm in the Congo 

Nothing can go wrong-o 

I'm in the Congo 

Nothing can go wrong-o 

I'm in the Congo 

Nothing can go wrong-o 

I'm in the Congo 

Even in his dream he knew 

He'd never get away 

Not even for a day 

Then a peanut hit him on the nose 

Joshua Giraffe was back in the zoo 

What could he do 

Awakened from his dream 

He'd never be the same 

Because of things he'd seen 

He'd seen 

Alligators, crocodiles, tree sloths 

Anacondas, cobras and 

Large winged moths 

Orangutans, baboons eating grapes 

Gibbons, rude mandrills and just plain apes 

But Joshua was lucky 

He had some special friends 

And that day they went to the zoo 

But he was up tight so they waited till the night 

And they chopped his cage in two 

He discovered he could fly and 

He soared into the sky with them 

Wrapped around his neck 

And they haven't come back yet 

So if you see them get a net 

That's right, they haven't come back yet 

But when they do, they say they are 

Going to free all the animals from their cages 

No matter how new or modern 

Even some pets, too 

So if on your way home today 

You happen to find 

A baboon basking in the balcony 

Or a lion licking a lemon in the lobby 

Or a python perched in the pantry 

A wildebeest in the W.C 

With a turtle twirling in your tub 

Don't be afraid, just say you're a friend 

Of their friend
