The giraffe farm that inspired Jason: http://www.schreinerfarms.com/
http://www.schreinerfarms.com/giraffe.html it DOES exists 🙂 Thanks for the great song and set in Paris with 3 minutes sur mer @ Le Limonaire the other day.
this is amazing
Whatever Jason is on, I want 20.
Me: I got to go to sleep early
Me at 3am: I WANT A GIRAFFE
Such a funny song (and story) ! The lyrics are simply impressive, but I couldn't find them anywhere so I gave it a try, if you want to help me fill the blanks ! 😉
LYRICS (almost) :
Just hear me out
Try not to laugh
I've saved all my money, I've been working time-and-a-half
I want a giraffe, just a giraffe
Not a zebra or panda
Or monkey or buffalo calf
But a giraffe
I'll buy him really nice boots
The most elegant suits
And for costume parties he'll don a mysterious mask
My lovely giraffe, my lucky giraffe
He'll be waited on day and night by his own personal staff
Give me a giraffe, just look at this graph
Let X be my willingness Y be your kindness and Z be the great deeds all acted out on your behalf
On my giraffe
I don't want
a zebra or monkey
or panda or goat
not a weevil or weasel
or ferret or stoat
not a cat not a rat
not a bat not a lamb
not a mole not a bull
not a troll not a clam
not an antelope, parakeet
wallaby, dinosaur
kangaroo, platypus
wombat or Minotaur
not a squid
for sure not a kid
not a fully grown gerbil
who'll be ???
Just a giraffe
And do not think that I'd settle
For a llama or a camel
I am longing
For a taller mammal
Hey John Schreiner
I'm talking to you
No turtle or bird will do
I want a giraffe
Give me a giraffe
I want a giraffe
I want a giraffe
This song gives me life.
