Life is simple down at the Zoo Love is easy down there with you We can ride on top of an elephant And the world outside is irrelevant Deep inside of our hearts we are animals too Down at the Zoo Skies are sunny Down at the Zoo Life is funny down there with you Little children beg for a new balloon When the old one flies like a desert moon From the animals' view we're just animals too Down at the Zoo Buy a ticket for the Monkey Show Everybody wants to say hello Can you tell me Mister where the lovers go Where are the peanuts And where is my money Ice-cream tutti-frutti ice-cream Smile for the camera Eyes are shining Down at the Zoo Life is smiling down there with you So you work all week for the company And your eyes get red in the factory What the animals know all the animals do Down at the Zoo
