Animal uprising
Animal uprising
In the zoos and on the farms
They knocking down the cages and barns

It's an animal uprising
Really quite surprising
This animal uprising
 

The cats and the dogs and the goldfish
Are staging a coup d'etat
There's a revolution in the pet store
Soon all will be canary law

Chorus
 

Animal uprising
Animal uprising
On the plains and in the homes
They are marching where they once just roamed

Chorus
 

They're following the King of the Jungle
They line up just to hear his roar
He whips them all into a frenzy
Even cows, bugs, cats, ducks, and herbivores

Chorus
 

There's nowhere to run and nothing to do
When you're stuck in the middle of chicken coup

You used to sleep soundly but that was before
You found yourself fighting a gorilla war

You're getting farm reports that you can't digest
And you just didn't expect all this pheasant unrest

Beware of the moles when your secrets are deep
And light up one if by lamb and two if by sheep
