At The Zoo Lyrics

At The Zoo

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

I do believe it,
I
do believe it's 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 it's cold,
And the animals
will love it
If you do.

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

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.
