Robert Lopshire - Put Me in the Zoo

I will go into the zoo.
I want to see it.
Yes, I do. I would like to
live this way.
This is where
I want to stay. We do not want you
in the zoo.
Out you go!
Out! Out with you. Why did they
put me out this way?
I should be in.
I want to stay. Why should they
put you in the zoo?
What good are you?
What can you do? What good am I?
What can I do?
Now here is one thing
I can do. Look! Now all his spots
are blue! And now his spots are orange!
Say!
He looks very good
that way. Now look at this!
What do you see?
Green spots! As green
as green can be! Violet spots!
Say! You are good!
Do more! Do more!
We wish you would. I can do more.
Look! This is new.
Blue, orange, green,
and violet, too. Oh! They would put me
in the zoo,
if they could see
what I can do. I can put my spots
up on this ball. And I can put them
on a wall. I can put them
on a cat. And I can put them
on a hat. I can put them
on the zoo! And I can put
my spots on you! Look at this, now!
One! Two! Three! I can put them
on a tree. And now
when I say One, two, three... all my spots
are back on me! Look, now!
Here is one thing more.
I take my spots.
I make them four. Oh! They would put me
in the zoo,
if they could see
what I can do. I take my spots,
I take them all,
And I can make them
very small. And now, you see,
I take them all
and I can make them
very tall. And when I want
to have more fun,
I take my spots
and make them one. Yes, they should put me
in the zoo.
