I dreamed a dream we bought a zoo

When hope was high, and zoo’s worth buying

I dreamed that we would buy a zoo

I prayed that zoos would be for buying

And I was young and bought a zoo

Some zoos were bought and used and wasted

There was no Johansson to be paid

No zoo unbought, no Matthew Damon

But the Tiger’s name was Spar

With his super fucked up eye

And he stood for Damon’s wife

And he wouldn’t let Spar die

Matt slept a summer in my zoo

He filled my zoo with endless denim

I saw his taint on a roof

But he was gone when Dennis Quaid

And still I dream we'll buy a zoo

That we will buy a zoo together

But there are zoos that can’t be bought

And there are zoos we cannot purchase

I had a dream we bought a zoo

So different from the zoo we bought

So different now from Dennis Quaid

Oh life has bought the zoo

Dennis Quaid
