WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ZOO?

Like bunnies
like doggies
like emu
we go at it
night after night
after day
after randy afternoon.

We are constantly doing that thing
which our parents say we should only do after marriage
but our ancestors say we should do whenever we're in heat.
And I am hot for you, baby. I want to have babies with you.
I feel the need to speed the blood pumping through my system,
pulsing into yours
over and over again
night after night
after day
after randy afternoon.

I love you.
I want you.
I want to be with you
in you
all over you.

And I think,
I can tell
you feel the same way, too.

So, our parents say this should be after we're wed
but our forefathers tell us
we should just go to bed.
Let us listen to the wisdom of the ancients
and if we're gonna do it like bunnies,
like doggies
like emu
then let's hit a fucking zoo
where we probably belong.
