lyrics

On our first trip to Metro Zoo
The otters swam down slippery rocks
Going with the current's flow
Under the footbridge we were standing on
And you wanted a wax otter statue
But the machine ate your money up
So you settled on monkeys instead
And if memory serves, an elephant

When we are lying in the water
It almost feels like we're just two otters
That's all I want for us once I collect myself
When we are lying in the water
It almost feels like we're just two otters
That is all I really want for us

On our second trip to Metro Zoo
We went with Grandpa Eddie, the niece and the nephew
Two otters were lying in a pile
And I didn't even check the wax toy machine
My niece and nephew were being brats
So I dropped the, "Uncles only have fun" line
But it made me laugh to myself to see
The otters exhausted as you and I

On that hot tub vista in Vermont
I saw a river in the distance while you rested on me
And wondered if down the mountainside
Two otter friends were playing

When we are lying in the water
It almost feels like we're just two otters
That's all I want for us once I collect myself
When we are lying in the water
It almost feels like we're just two otters
That is all I really want for us

There is not a single mangrove swamp
I would not paddle through with you
And if the alligators came
To lunch upon our old canoe
We might remember older lives
With slicked back fur from river rides
Holding hands as we float downstream
Merrily, merrily

On that hot tub vista in Vermont
I saw a river in the distance while you rested on me
And wondered if down the mountainside
Two otter friends were playing
