Here's a story that may sound fictitious 

Of which you may be very suspicious

The story of an animal extremely vicious

It's on the loose!

It escaped the zoo!

You better watch out

It might be coming for you!

What is it?

A tiger, a bear, a lion?

When I tell you, you might start laughin'

Or maybe you'll start cryin'

Because the story sounds absurd

It was a friggin' bird!

A peacock that escaped the zoo

I'm not lying, the story's true

Don't believe what I've written?

Talk to Mike, he was bitten!

Mike was 'standing outside, chillin'

Smoking, and whatever'

When he was attacked

Should you doubt what Mike is saying?

Never! Mike is not playing!

Mike thought he was 'buggin''

Assumed he was too 'high'

I think Mike needs some huggin'

Would a guy like Mike lie?

He's a stand-up kinda guy!

Ladies and gentlemen 

I'm not joking

You don't have to be smoking 

What Mike is smoking to understand 

We're dealing with a vicious creature

One who will stop at nothing

To get what he wants

By the way, the peacocks name is Raul

I pity the fool who messes with Raul!

Mr T, where are you now that we need you?!
