The Lyrics
The new "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" movie is coming out soon so I decided on another "Zoo" parody as dedication. I filled-in as much info as I could but sorry, could not get Nova into it ;-D
They put him in a zoo
was from another time
(arrival in 3978 blows the mind)
Icarus spaceship finally through
Brakin’ for landin’
Sinkin’ after crashin’
Astronauts couldn’t understand it
Apes runnin’ around
Speakin’ and huntin’ prey
Col. Taylor was netted, brought down
(taken back into ape town)
They put him in a zoo
was from another time
was a crime
(for humans to speak at anytime)
Zira loved you
Zira loved you
Zira loved you
Zira loved you anyhow
And she didn’t care
If “Blue Eyes” could speak
Just wanted to know- HOW???
She set him free
They put him in a zoo
was from another time
(Statue of Liberty-mankind’s destiny)
was from another time
(arrival in 3978 blows the mind)
Icarus spaceship finally through
Brakin’ for landin’
Sinkin’ after crashin’
Astronauts couldn’t understand it
Apes runnin’ around
Speakin’ and huntin’ prey
Col. Taylor was netted, brought down
(taken back into ape town)
They put him in a zoo
was from another time
was a crime
(for humans to speak at anytime)
Zira loved you
Zira loved you
Zira loved you
Zira loved you anyhow
And she didn’t care
If “Blue Eyes” could speak
Just wanted to know- HOW???
She set him free
They put him in a zoo
was from another time
(Statue of Liberty-mankind’s destiny)

"Planet of the Apes" might be "Tarzan's" favorite movie! and I sure favor this parody! 555! :-)
Ooh! La! La! and I like that girl too! ;-) I'd give her a 5 any day! ;-D
WCJ- Yeah Baby- THAT's the kinda Wild Girl we all would like to be with!!!
Another small error- in the film, Col. Taylor was "Bright Eyes" not "Blue Eyes"!!! Oops, been a long time since I saw the original film...
