Once there were brothers who said that they loved her

Once there were brothers who worked at the zoo

Once there were brothers who said that they loved her

Once they petted her poodle named Pooh

Once there were two

(With claws un-retracted, a lion reacted)

Once there were two

(With claws un-retracted, a lion reacted)

Once there were two

(Because she was bothered)

Together at the zoo

(While feeding her daughter because she was bothered)

Petting her Pooh

(We buried my father)

Then there was one

(With my mother aching, his brother replaced him)

Then there was one

(With my mother aching, his brother replaced him)

Now there is nothing

(Until he was bitten, until he was bitten)

Now there is nothing

(Until he was bitten by an infected kitten)

Now there is nothing

(So mother retreated from a life that repeated)

Sound of nothing

(And said she was sorry)

And more nothing

(But the night is so starry)
