I'm not no red football
|
To be kicked around the garden
|
No no
|
I'm a red christmas-tree ball
|
And I'm fragile
|
I'm not no animal
|
Though I am to you
|
I'm not no crocodile
|
Like the one in Dublin Zoo
|
Who lived in a cage the length and breadth of his body
|
When a window which people could look through
|
And throw coins on his back to taunt him 'though he couldn't move
|
Even if he wanted to
|
I'm not nbo animal in the zoo
|
I'm not no whipping boy for you
|
You may not treat me like you do
|
I'm not no animal in the zoo
|
My skin is not a football for you
|
My head is not a football for you
|
My body's not a football for you
|
My womb is not a football for you
|
My heart is not a football for you
|
I'm not no animal in the zoo
|
This animal will jump up and eat you
|
I'm not no animal in the zoo
|
And I've every intention
|
Of leaping up and getting you
|
