Chekalov - My Freedom

Well I did the shuffle down the stairs
And I skipped to the zoo
I had a visit with a friend they called Frankenfoote
He hated all the workers
And all the people too
Trusted only I
And only I could bring him food
He hopped just like a rabbit
More like a kangaroo
And he ate just like a lion does
So, like the tigers too
And in the night when he goes to sleep
He likes a shot or two
Sour milk from so much milk
To fill his belly full
Frankenfoote’s is all alone, lone, lone LONE!
Taken from friends and his home, home, home HOME!
Frankenfoote needs to be free, free, free FREE!
He’s the last one of his kind
Can’t you see, see, see, see
I walked into his big cage
And much to my surprise
I saw Franky drawing pictures
About his former life
He had three little babies
A house and a wife
Stripped from them
For the public delight
He ate up all the meat I brought
In one big bite
I combed his giant mane
And locked his roots up tight
I listened to him sing
About his first big fight
Until our time was up
And the sun came up and night turned to light
Frankenfoote’s is all alone, lone, lone LONE!
Taken from friends and his home, home, home HOME!
Frankenfoote needs to be free, free, free FREE!
He’s the last one of his kind
Can’t you see, see, see, see
He sharpened up his big claws
To start off every day
Then he went for a short jog
To keep himself in shape
And when no one was looking
He clawed at the gate
Soon enough the lock would bust
And he could leave that place
I got to the zoo
About a quarter past eight
All the guard were in a frenzy
Something got away!
I looked a little further to Franky’s cage
Then I knew what was up
The lock had bust
My friend had escaped
Frankenfoote’s going home, home, home HOME!
Leaving that zoo all alone, lone, lone LONE!
Frankenfoot is finally free, free, free FREE!
The only thing I hope is he remembers me, me, me me
