No w if this were summer,
we could all go to the zoo...
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.
Something tells me it's all happening at
the zoo.,
I do believe ,it, I do believe it's true.
The monkey stands 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 ...
