At the Zoo

Someone told me
it's all happening at the zoo.

I do believe it,
I do believe its true.

It's a light and tumble journey
from the east side to the park;

just a fine and fancy ramble
to the zoo;

but you can take the crosstown bus
if it's raining or its cold

and the animals will love it
If you do.

Somethin tells me
it's all happening at the zoo.

I do believe it,
I do believe its true.

The monkeys stand for honesty

Giraffes are insincere

and the elephants are kindly

but they're dumb.

Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages

and the zookeeper is very fond of rum.

Zebras are reactionaries

antelopes are missionaries

pigeons plot in secrecy

and hamsters turn on frequently.

What a gas!

you gotta come and see
at the zoo

 at the zoo

at the zoo.
