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
