Bill Bailey Hats Off To The Zebras
The horse is a noble beast
From the mustangs of the west
To the stallions of the east
But the horse has a distant cousin
It lives I-do-not-know-where
But it's message of racial harmony is one that we all can share
Hats off to the zebras
They are black and white
But they don't fight
'Cos they're not very good at it
In a world of confusion
We all need a sign
If only we could live side by side
Like the stripes down a zebras spine
Hats of to the zebras, yeah
The humble badger
Takes a sip of morning dew
He's totally colourblind
So he can't judge you
But the badger is a dreamer
The badger has a plan
He knows that his destiny
Is to help his fellow man
Hats off to the badger
He is black and white
But he doesn't fight
Except for mating rights and territory
Black man and a white man
Both they need to shave
United by the badger brush
He's helping from beyond the grave
Hats off to the badger
What about the tapir?
Half zebra half pig
Imagine the stig-ma
But the tapeer stands proud
Hats off to the tapir
Badgers and zebras
Skunks, oh yeah
Little ring-tailed leemurs
Living together in harmony
And if the killer whales can do it, why can't we?
