The Animal Refugees

I’m the only elephant in Phnomh Penh No more of my kind you’ll see My wife ran off from the killing fields She’s an animal refugee I’m a Mekong crocodile from Vietnam When the napalm scorched each tree I swam to Laos at dead of night I’m an animal refugee I’m a slithery snake from Angkor Wat Where the mountains churned the sea Now tourists squat in my habitat I’m an animal refugee When people’s homes are ripped apart There’s appeals on world TV No one saves us. There’s little fuss For an animal refugee.
