In the Enclosure Over the Fence
by carpet_salesman

What a beautiful ape
I have found in this place
That is circled by strong iron bars
What a beautiful scream
I produce as blood streams
from the place where you’re gripping my arm, hey hey
Harambe
Hold me close and keep me here with you today…

And soon you will die
From the shot that is fired
by the zookeeper over the fence
But for now we are young,
so just drag me and run
as the people above closely watch in suspense,
feeling tense,
as they look down and watch this remarkable turn of events…

*instrumentals*

What a curious life
We have found here tonight
There’s a gunshot that sounds above me
There’s a gasp from the crowd,
Cecil’s ghost all around,
hear his roar as you stumble away from me,
Harambe,
as your soul swirls around and floats up above the trees…

Now how I remember you
How you ran and dragged me through
The water put there by the zoo
that kept your fur so smooth and clean
And now you sleep, your soul has gone
Together, we shall sing this song
Your memory, it won’t be gone
We remember, Harambe…

What a beautiful ape
I have found in this place
that is circled by strong iron bars
And when we meet on a cloud
I’ll be singing out loud
With Koko on the bass and Bantu on guitar….
In the stars, Harambe your place will always be in our hearts
