As Joe Exotic succumbs to coronavirus, we pay tribute with the Lithuanian entry in the Reckless Eurovision Song Contest:

If I were to run a zoo
I wouldn’t leave out the kangaroo
If I were to run a zoo
There’d still be room for me and you

If I were to run a zoo

I’d let the chimps run free
To dance round in their bikinis
I’d let the chimps run free
And invite them round for tea

If I were to run a zoo

Lions, tigers, cockatiels and bears
I would liberate them all
And put them in swimwear
Nothing says freedom like treating pets like punks
And why should elephants be the only ones with trunks
Yeah

If I were to run a zoo
Look out, look out…
Back off boo gnu
