Unrattled - LP Zoo

This lion's lyin' on a rock
And spies a rat come runnin' through
My habitat - it is no shock
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Humans and rats don't get along.
Humans don't like to see rats here.
For me rats are not right or wrong.
Rats tend to know not to get near
To where I may happen to be.
A quick firm swipe of my paw and
A rat becomes just history,
Something the rats just understand.

But when it comes to my meat bone,
The rats better leave that alone.
