1. 	Abdul, the giraffe,
	D      E       A            Amaj7	 
	tries again to make himself laugh.
    D           E           A               Amaj7	 
	But it's no use, for he knows that he's trapped
	Bm7   E               A        Amaj7	 
	  in another concrete day in a cage,
	Bm7   E               A        Amaj7	 
	  in another concrete day in a cage,
	Bm7   E               A
	     another concrete day.

	

2.	Florence, the camel,
	tries and tries to deny she's an animal.
	But all her lies won't dissolve the inevitable.
	It's another concrete day in a cage,
	another concrete day in a cage,
	another concrete day.

                D    A      Bm7
Bridge: And the moon shines down.
	            C#m7    Bm7      A
	    And the stars   shine    down.
	            Bm7    C#m7    D      C#m7     Bm7         E
	    And the light  bulb    shines down for everyone to see.


3.	Fred, at his desk,
	hears his wristwatch beep nine o'clock
	as he stares across the parking lot.
	It's another concrete day in a cage,
	another concrete day in a cage,
	another concrete day.
