Giraffes #1

There are 280 giraffes
on the British mainland.
Shared around between 85 zoos
and a few stuck in private collections.

They tell a story of the First Giraffe:
he learned to swim and he led them to England
he wrote down 3 rules to live by
and even now they still believe them...

Stick your neck out
Stand up taller
Don't look down now

It's ok, it's ok, we will find a way
Around the fences humans made for us
It's ok, it's ok, we will find a way

There are 280 giraffes
and like the Prophet said, they're getting organised
countdown to their own Year Zero
when the giraffes will learn to fly...

Stick your neck out
Stand up taller 
Don't look down now

It's ok, it's ok, we will find a way
Around the fences humans made for us
It's ok, it's ok, we will fly away!

giraffes are all around
giraffes are floating down
