I’m the last sea otter at the zoo
I have the tank to myself and my own trainer too
I get extra clams and I have quite the view
But this new life ain’t nothing without you
Do you promise when you see me again
You’ll fall asleep right beside me and gently hold my hand?
We’ll drift past the polar bears and penguins on land
We’ll make it somewhere someday, just as we planned
Today I saw a new sign, outside the zoo
But I can’t read
The trainers stopped giving me urchins for supper
And now the polar bears are freed
I’m the last sea otter at the zoo
I have a tank to myself but I can’t see through
And I’m sure these words are well overdue
But I assure you, I love you
