Concrete Animals Lyrics - Shonen Knife

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

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!)
