Paul Simon - At The Zoo lyrics

[Intro] Someone told me It's all happening at the zoo I do believe it I do believe it's true [Verse 1] 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 now [Bridge] Something tells me It's all happening at the zoo I do believe it I do believe it's true [Verse 2] 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 reactionaries 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 At the zoo At the zoo
