Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo

I do believe it, I do believe its true

Mmm-mmm-mm-mm, Mmm-mmm-mm,

Ohh ohh ohh, Mmm-Mmm-mmm



Its a light and tumbled journey from the east side to the park

Just to find a fancy ramble to the zoo

But you can take a crosstown bus if it's raining or it's cold

And the animals will love it if you do - If you do now



Something tells me it's all happening at the Zoo

I do believe it, I do believe it's true

Mmm-mmm-mm-mm, Mmm-mmm-mm

Ohh Ohh Ohh, Mmm-Mmm-mm



The monkeys stand for honesty

Giraffes are insincere

The Elephants are kindly but they're dumb

Orang Utangs are skeptical of changes in their cages

and the zookeeper is very fond of rum



Zebras are reactionaries

Antelopes are visionaries

Pigeons flocked in secrecy

and hamsters turn on frequently

It's a cast you have to come and see

At the zoo - At the zoo - At the zoo - At the zoo - At the zoo
