Lyrics
At the Zoo
(Tim Purdum)
At the zoo
You know we got your crocodiles
Hyenas with magnificent smiles
At the zoo
Check out the tall giraffe
Monkeys sure can make you laugh
At the zoo
Well there's every kind of animal
That you would care to see
The only thing that we can't find
Is a tiny honeybee
At the zoo
Hawks come on very strong
Doves just tryin' to get along
At the zoo
Bulls look like they'll charge you down
And bears all wearing a frown
At the zoo
Well we poisoned their rivers
Chopped down all their trees
No more habitats
Too much CO2 on the breeze
At the zoo
We'll protect you from pollution
Construction zones and revolution
At the zoo
Three square meals without a fuss
Is there room in there for all of us?
At the zoo
When we've used up all the oil
And have too many mouths to feed
Who will clean up our cage
In our time of need?
At the zoo
You know we got your crocodiles
Hyenas with magnificent smiles
At the zoo
Check out the tall giraffe
Monkeys sure can make you laugh
At the zoo
