Victor The Vulture

(앨범: Songs From Alphabet Zoo - 1983)

I've heard of a dog who didn't have fleas
I've heard of a mouse who didn't like cheese
I've heard of a bed that didn't have a sheet
But I've never heard about a vulture
Who didn't like meat

I've heard of a bird who never ever flew
I've heard of a lion who wasn't in a zoo
I've heard of a parrot who could actually speak
But I've never heard about a vulture
Who didn't like meat

Not a pork pie
Not a saveloy
Not a sausage roll
Or a bit of bacon rind
So if you meet Victor
Want to give him a treat
A bag of fruit and nuts will do the trick
But don't give him meat

I've heard of a gazelle who only liked leaves
I've heard of a monkey eating fruit from the trees
I've heard of a parrot cracking shells with his beak
But I've never heard about a vulture
Who didn't like meat

Not a pork pie
Not a saveloy
Not a sausage roll
Or a bit of bacon rind
So if you meet Victor
Want to give him a treat
A bag of fruit and nuts will do the trick
But don't give him meat

Now there's lots of people in the world
Who don't like everything
Some don't like carrots and some don't like their greens
Some don't like biscuits and some not even sweets
But I've never heard about a vulture... (until I met Victor)
Who didn't like meat
