Free Range Moon Zoo 02:11
lyrics
Got a great idea for a zoo on the moon It's a free range zoo on the moon Got to do it now or real real soon Gotta build that zoo on the moon Gotta do it now, gotta be there first Ain't got no time to lose If we wait to long I fear for the worst Can't have russian or chinese moon zoos It's a free range zoo on the moon! But we can't find animal-shaped space suits Well the animals can do without them But there unnecessary so the point is moot They're resilient so don't you doubt them So what about the skin-scorching heat of the lunar sunlight The animals don't need spacesuits And what about the sub-arctic dark of the lunar night I said they don't need no spacesuits It's a free range zoo on the moon! We'll have a lunar safari where the gravity's weak There ain't no gravity there to speak How you suppose the moon and the critters will meet? They'll wear really heavy boots on their feet! Got a great idea for a zoo on the moon It's a free range zoo on the moon Got to do it now or real real soon Gotta build that zoo on the moon It's a free range zoo on the moon!

Dog And Pony Show 01:33
lyrics
You're invited to the dog and pony show Plus all the other animals that you know In my moon zoo We're accepting any kind of donation For hanging in the balance is the fate of the nation In my moon zoo What can you do to help the moon zoo? Everybody knows our lives depend on it The evil moon will make our lives be ending If we don't have moon zoos We invited you to the dog and pony show To save yourselves and the animals that you know With my moon zoo What can you do to help the moon zoo?

Beaverwood Spacecraft 02:27
lyrics
We got the backing of a billionaire with a beard and a robe And he wants to start packing up the animals before the earth explodes Or maybe it's before the tides all shift and all the building shatter From the resulting tidal waves but what the fuck, it doesn't matter From all the animals we need seven clean and seven dirty Or maybe two of everything, both male and female, but no worries We'll sort out the details later, it's not my mess All that matters are the dimensions and materials, just pitch and cypress 300 ancient measure long by 50 wide and 30 tall And the crew better be real clean, you hear me now, no dirty balls We'll consult numerology for the length of time it takes to be saved And lastly if he's drunk, don't look at his junk or we'll make you and all your kids slaves

Full Solar Eclipse 03:09
lyrics
Gotta bring that big yellow ball back in the sky It took away the planet's source of energy Now we can say that the moon is our enemy All the other planets are friends with me Except for maybe Mars and Mercury It took away that big yellow ball in the sky Gotta bring together all the astronauts No time to find out why it happened, ask me not You want to study the orbits, well here's a thought You only want to help those who cause the sun to blot You didn't want that big yellow ball in the sky Not gonna convert the English to the metric Time to put down the bong, bitches be eccentric Gonna transcend the crystal spheres concentric Then you'll believe that the universe is geocentric And we'll put that big yellow ball back in the sky

Establishing Breeding Pairs In Zero Gravity 03:08
lyrics
If you put some animals in space captivity Not long before they're saying please come and live with me Something about the feel of zero gravity Makes the animals want protrusions within cavities And then they say Don't want to be greedy but I need your sweet graffiti Written on my eardrums I want to conced-ey that Oh yes indeed-y You are my only endeared one For example, take the rabbit Always mulitplying as is his habit I see no reason to conduct experiments Might get in the way of future endearment When they say Don't want to be greedy but I need your sweet graffiti Written on my eardrums I want to conced-ey that Oh yes indeed-y You are my only endeared one So you see that at our command-a We'll increase the population of the giant panda So you folks that don't give us a hand-a Are endangered species something you can't stand-a? Because they're gonna say Don't want to be greedy but I need your sweet graffiti Written on my eardrums I want to conced-ey that Oh yes indeed-y You are my only endeared one

Denouncing The Detractors 03:02
lyrics
Fat lady on a bicycle, she's a commie pinko Fat lady on a bicycle, what the fuck does she know About the animals in our moon zoo And how the animals don't need spacesuits Science nerd with the spectacles, he's got no testicles Science nerd with the spectacles, maybe a homosexual He don't know anything about how the tides work So who's he to judge any of my work Old lady with the kitty-cats, a bunch of hippie crap Old lady with the kitty-cats, why don't she take a bath She don't know anything about what the pandas need And how the animals are gonna space-breed Zookeepers and biologists, a bunch of terrorists Zookeepers and biologists, they don't believe in Jesus They hate all of you and they hate apple pie They want the world to blow and watch you all die

27 Reasons 06:32
lyrics
Avoid world destruction Fight the rising tides Breed giant pandas Stop future eclipses Fistfuls of moon money Guard against extinction Safe haven when the world ends Lunar power and glory No one ever made a zoo These are the reasons for the zoo! Setting up a moon base First to make a moon zoo Terraform the moon Prepare for zoos on Mars Defense against the aliens Because the beardo said so Democratize the moon Prove a geocentric universe Get some green cheese These are the reasons for the zoo! Save money on space suits Put the sun in the sky Time to get revenge Because zoos are cool Put some zoos on Mercury Prove we don't need space suits Keep the moon from crashing into us There's oil on the moon Finish what Apollo started These are the reasons for the zoo!

Lunar Safari 03:01
lyrics
Going on a lunar safari! And you know what? I'm not sorry! Going on a lunar safari! Right now, not tomorrow! Going on a lunar safari! Can't stop me from creating my reality! Going on a lunar safari! So why don't you cry a single martian tear for me! Ain't nobody gonna prove me wrong Ain't no doubt about it And it somebody gonna prove me wrong Don't you know they're all lying anyway Going on a lunar safari! I got ideals, my eyes are starry Going on a lunar safari! You're coming too or you'll get scarry Going on a lunar safari! You'll love it there, it'll be a party Going on a lunar safari! I'm a tough guy, shut up smarty Ain't nobody gonna prove me wrong Ain't no doubt about it And it somebody gonna prove me wrong Don't you know they're all lying anyway

Disaster On The Lander 04:17
lyrics
The moment they left the lunar lander The animals' skin began to expand-a I don't understand-a And who could have planned-a And now I'll never get to breed my giant panda

Victory! (A Fist Full Of Moon Money) 03:08
lyrics
I got a fistful of moon money And a pocket full of no regrets We sent a zoo full of kangaroos and bunnies On a rocket to the lunar threat It's a victory, got a fistful of moon money It's a victory, can't you see everything is gonna be ok! And that's a pretty impressive accomplishment Don't you scoff at it unless you want to see a panda cry And can't you see here, there's a lunar atmosphere So recant your fears, can't you hear me telling you why? It's a victory, got a fistful of moon money It's a victory, can't you see everything is gonna be ok!

about

This is a rock opera about building a free range zoo on the moon. I wrote it originally in 2004 & 2005 but finished it in 2013, not because of a Chinese Democracy type bloated mess or a Smile type drug freakout, but out of general laziness. Dig!
