At The Zoo
Lyrics and Songs by Simon and Garfunkel - Go back

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

I do believe it
I do blieve it's true

The monkeys stand for honestry
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 reactionries

Arntelopes are missionaries

Pigeons plot in secrecy.
And hamsters turn on frequenzly.
What a gas! You gotta come and see
at the zoo!
