So, we’d like to do, right now, a song from our new album coming out
You guys ready?

[What is it called?]

This is called Mr Lion

[OK]

If you got hate in your heart

The you got hate in your home
Baby, where you can you when you feel like you just don’t belong?

Hey, Mr Lion please stop acting so tough

Tell me, hey, how is that anyway to get along?

Saturday night I was looking so good and feeling so fine
That’s when I saw old stinky from he corner of my eye
Mr Chimpanzee, Elephant and Mrs Crocodile
Caught-up in a ruckus
Yeah, they was plain running wild, come on

Half time loser, lost time baby

Take care of what you got or lose what you don’t

Listen to me now, believe what I say
There was a great big commotion in the jungle that day
Mr Lion and his boys yeah they was rounding them up
Everyone screaming and crying but they could just not get away

Yeah

Trying to sort it out, process what’s in my mind
The truth? well, sometimes that’s just not easy to find
Can’t get why, can’t get what
And just what’s wrong with this cat?
Baby, how is being different such a terrible crime?

Half time loser, lost time baby

Take care of what you got or lose what you don’t

Half time loser, lost time baby

oh baby, you gonna find that your whole world has done changed

Now the grounding is shaking, said burn the coconut trees

It was all chaos and fear
But then what did I see?

Meow, meow, meow

The cutest little kitten looking right up at me, ha ha
A saucer of milk and a nice warm lap
We all need love and don’t it feel good to laugh?
Now Mr Lion, behave, I said that’s enough!
