Someone told me It's all happening at the zoo. I do believe it I do believe it's true.
Hum Hum Hum Hum 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. If you do. Oo... Oo...
Somethin' tells me It's all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it, I do believe it's true. Hum Hum Hum Hum
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 re-actionaries 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.
