[Introductory Poem]
The time has come to say goodbye
To all our vastly-varied friends
And also, to reflect on them
As our select procession ends
For every beast is quite unique
And every one was born a star
Let's bring them back to take a bow
And show them all, right here and now
(Yes, even the pianists)
How magnificent we think they are!
Finale was written by Peter Schickele & Camille Saint-Saëns.
