 Fruit Bat '22 - LP Zoo

As a fruit bat I like to do

A hanging out in a fruit tree

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

An eater of fruit I do be.

Over time I've come to know that

There really is no fruit tree here

Growing in my Zoo habitat.

But I am still filled with good cheer,

Knowing that my keepers show up

In count upon daily pursuit

Of always making my day, yup,

Visiting me and bearing fruit.

I see the keeper coming now.

I smack my lips, here comes fruit chow.
