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 unretracted
lion reacted
Once there were two With claws unretracted
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
