Mr. Panda
Long ago no, much longer my friend
And longer again yeah, way back then
A fish crawled ashore and he rose and he roared
And Mr. Panda stood on his paws
He poked and he peered as he wandered about
Pass the beaks and the snouts full of marvel and doubt
Through valleys and mountains and deserts and snow
On and on he would go
Fish in the sea and birds in the sky
And beasts in between both cuddly and vile
The random outtakes of the shifting of shapes
To the shaking of Earth's mighty plates
Instrumental
Then suddenly things evolved rapidly fast
And Mr. Panda thought "I think I'll just keep to myself for a while
'Cause some of these guys are amazingly bigger than I, yeah"
Giants and might back in dinosaur times
Marvelous sights 'till the long-lasting night
Of meteor showers and Dino goodnight
As the mammals got ready to rise
Yeah, saber tooths sneaking and prowling the plains
The great woolly mammoths in snowy terrain
The coming of man spread all over the land
And nobody else stood a chance
Instrumental
Culture and music and painting and dance
Wonders and warmth Mr. Panda was a fan
Never before until mankind arrived
Had the world seen such beacons of light
Yeah, cities and towns rose mighty and grand
Cattle and plow they remade the land
"So what do think Mr. Panda, old friend?"
Mr. Man asked so proud once again
"Hmm, now, don't overdo it" Mr. Panda replied
"In your marvelous awesomeness greater than I
Be sure to take good care of us all
The swimming, the flying, and those that just crawl
The running, the walking, the big and the small
The furry, the scaly, the short, and the tall
But what do I know and why would you care
I'm just a chess colored bear"
And longer again yeah, way back then
A fish crawled ashore and he rose and he roared
And Mr. Panda stood on his paws
He poked and he peered as he wandered about
Pass the beaks and the snouts full of marvel and doubt
Through valleys and mountains and deserts and snow
On and on he would go
Fish in the sea and birds in the sky
And beasts in between both cuddly and vile
The random outtakes of the shifting of shapes
To the shaking of Earth's mighty plates
Instrumental
Then suddenly things evolved rapidly fast
And Mr. Panda thought "I think I'll just keep to myself for a while
'Cause some of these guys are amazingly bigger than I, yeah"
