| | | Lyrics: | In nineteen thirty-who at a zoo in Los Angeles
a polar bear named Larry performed for the
crowd,
they'd cheer aloud
He'd go slipping and sliding, jumping and diving
The
people would laugh. They took his photograph.
Larry was born at the zoo
He never knew as
he grew older
anything colder
than Los Angeles
which is warmer than Alaska
where
Larry's parents were born.
CHORUS:
Larry the polar bear
He'd never harm a hair
on a child's head
He'd do tricks for them
at the Los Angeles zoo,
as he'd been taught
to by his keeper Fran.
Fran would teach him new tricks
A funny pose
scratching
his nose
He knew there'd be a fish at the end,
Fran was his friend.
One day she
said "Larry, you'll be in the movies
with real movie stars and a few simple tricks
and
lots of fish
to be filmed on location in Alaska."
and so they rehearsed for Larry's
big scene,
He's supposed to be mean
and growl at a woman who was rescued by a man who
scared him away
It was stupid
but fun to do.
The director would frown
and jump
up and down
kind of like the chimps at the zoo.
CHORUS
At last came the
day of the trip
They put Larry in a crate
twelve foot by eight
and he sailed aboard a
steamship
The journey was long
and boring
Fran would visit
she'd talk to
him
and bring him his favorite fish
then the noise and the rumbling stopped
and they
lowered him down
set the crate on the frozen ground
and opened it
Fran said
"Larry, we're here
It's time for your tricks."
And Larry appeared
He looked out
at the gray Bering Sea
He squinted and puzzled
put his nose to the wind
and the scent
of the seal made him tremble
He smelled the fox in its lair
and the weasel and
hare
felt lichen and snow 'neath his paws,
and he looked at the tundra and
ice,
looked at the loon in the sky and he ran
slowly at first
kind of
lumbering
he ran
gathering speed
gathering memories from within
old and
dim
growing stronger
to run and to swim,
to dive and to float,
the cold at his
throat
But warm inside
'neath the fur and hide
Ocean and ice all around him
He
ran
He ran
He ran
and he swam away | | | |
