i ask the zebra,
are you black with white stripes
or white with black stipes?
and the zebra ask me
are you good with bad habits
or bad with good habits?
are you quiet with noisy times
or you noisy with quiet times?
are you sad with happy days
or you happy with sad days?
are you sloppy with neat ways
or you neat with sloppy ways?
and on and on and on he went
i'll never ask a zebra
about stripes
again
are you black with white stripes
or white with black stipes?
and the zebra ask me
are you good with bad habits
or bad with good habits?
are you quiet with noisy times
or you noisy with quiet times?
are you sad with happy days
or you happy with sad days?
are you sloppy with neat ways
or you neat with sloppy ways?
and on and on and on he went
i'll never ask a zebra
about stripes
again
