Well I went there on my honeymoon, I saw the lion and the old baboon And we strayed for a while neath the silvery moon Up in the zoological gardens. Thunder and lightning it's no lark When Dublin City is in the dark. Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park And view the zoological gardens. She said to me, now me dear fried Jack, I'd like a ride on the elephants back. If you don't get out you'll get such a crack Up in the zoological gardens. Thunder and lightning it's no lark When Dublin City is in the dark. Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park And view the zoological gardens. She said to me to give you your due There's nothing jumps as well as you Not even the toad or the kangaroo Inside the zoological gardens Thunder and lightning it's no lark When Dublin City is in the dark. Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park And view the zoological gardens. I said to her oh don't be so daft She said to me now you musn't laugh, But yer lovely and long like the spotted giraffe Inside the zoological gardens. Thunder and lightning it's no lark When Dublin City is in the dark. Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park And view the zoological gardens. We left via the gate by Castleknock She said we could snog down by the lock And I knew she was one of the rare old stock Beside the zoological gardens Thunder and lightning it's no lark When Dublin City is in the dark. Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park And view the zoological gardens. Well I went there on my honeymoon, I saw the lion and the old baboon And we strayed for a while neath the silvery moon Up in the zoological gardens. Thunder and lightning it's no lark When Dublin City is in the dark. Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park And view the zoological gardens.
