The world “wild” applies to the words “you” and “me”.

While take a walk thru an African park one day,
I saw a sign say, “The animals have the right of way”.

Wild life, whatever happened to,
Wild life, the animals in the zoo?

We’re breathing a lot,
a lot of political nonsense in the air.

You’re making it hard for the people who live in there.
You’re moving so fast, but, baby, you know not where.
Wild life, (wild life), what’s gonna happen to
Wild life, (wild life), the animals in the zoo?

You’d better stop, there’s animals ev’rywhere,
And man is the top, an animal too,
And, man, you just got to care.

Wild life, what’s gonna happen to,
Wild life, the animals in the zoo?

You’re breathing a lot of polical nonsense in the air.

Wild life, (wild life), what’s gonna happen to
(what’s gonna happen to) (what’s gonna happen to)
Wild life, (wild life), the animals in the zoo?
(what’s gonna happen to) (what’s gonna happen to)
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
