Lyrics

I had a parakeet named after John Williams
And a rat named after Miles Davis
And ancestors up in the mountains
Who thought only Jesus could save us
Birds named after composers
You’ve got brown-nosers, kneeling down to your loafers
Give a mouse some praise he’ll ask for degradation
Or at least a debate on the state of our nation
When I grow up, I wanna be a zookeeper
Wide awake like any true sleeper
When I grow up I wanna be a zookeeper
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I remember at the pool with my halfway friends
They were doing various dives into the deep end
I was sitting on a chair wearing my towel like a cape
Writing a piano piece, dreaming of escape
When I grow up, I wanna be a zookeeper
Wide awake like any true sleeper
When I grow up I wanna be a zookeeper
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
And the tigers discuss, should we leave our cage
When it’s provided such security and guaranteed safety
But the leader of the streak says in a fiery rage:
“This place hasn’t felt like home to me lately"
And then, with great convinction, he said:
"I'm not gonna die like this
I'm not gonna die like this
I'm not gonna die like this
I'm not gonna die like this
I’m not gonna die like this (cannonball)
I’m not gonna die like this (backflip)
I’m not gonna die like this (bellyflop)
I’m not gonna die like this (corkscrew)
I’m not gonna die like this (cannonball)
I’m not gonna die like this (backflip)
I’m not gonna die like this (bellyflop)
I’m not gonna die like this (corkscrew)
I'm not gonna die like this"
