Concrete Animals Lyrics by Shonen Knife

Concrete Animals Lyrics

    Generally speaking every park has them
    Commonly they are at the sand box
    Occasionally they are vandalized by someone
    They are painted many colors
    Elephant, raccoon, tiger

    Concrete animals,
    Concrete animals
    Can i ride on your back
    Concrete animals,
    Concrete animals
    Let's take a picture together

    They are too big to carry back home
    They are too heavy for me to move
    After the sun sets they have a secret party
    Nobody knows they dance together

    Pony, rabbit, zebra

    Generally speaking, they make the children happy
    Commonly they are playing at the park
    But if it is dirty and dangerous
    Where can the children play together?

    (this extra verse was included on a european release. i think it makes the song darker, less childlike, less shonen knifey happy. better to wrap it up with the secret party!)

    Concrete animals,
    Concrete animals
    Can i ride on your back
    Concrete animals,
    Concrete animals
    Let's take a picture together
