A plea for conservation

Lyrics

The End Of The Animal
The end of the animal is in sight
All we'll have left are laboratory mice
And somewhere, there might be a mite
Now what do you think about that my friend?
Doesn't it give you quite a fright?
The end of the animal is in sight

The end of the elephant is overdue
But there's one or two left in London zoo
In Africa and India there's very few
Now what do you think about that my friend?
Can you believe it's true?
The end of the elephant is overdue

The end of the crocodile is very sad.
But, you see, they make such beautiful bags
And crocodile shoes? Is it really that bad?
Now what do you think about that my friend?

Doesn't it make you mad?
The end of the crocodile is very sad
The end of the rhino should start a storm
But all we wanted was the rhino's horn
Now it's too late, they're dead and gone
Now what do you think about that my friend?
Doesn't it make you all forlorn?
The end of the rhino should cause a storm

The end of the Panda is coming soon
But you see, it eats too much bamboo
And it won't make love when it's in the zoo
Now what do you think about that my friend?

Doesn't it make you fume?
The end of the Panda is coming soon
The end of the giraffe is hard to believe
'Cause all it eats are very tall trees
But there don't seem to be very many of these
Now what do you think about that my friend?
Doesn't it make you peeved?
The end of the giraffe is hard to believe

The end of the barn owl is a fact
It keeps on losing its habitat
Cause estate agents now sell any old shacks
Now what do you think about that my friend?
Doesn't it make, you feel flat?
The end of the barn owl is a fact

The end of the flea is inevitable
'Cause fleas just live on animals
And soon there'll be no animals
Now what do you think about that, my friend?
