At the Zoo

 1  -1   2   -2  
Someone told me
 3   -4   3  2  1  -1  2   1  
It's all happening at the zoo.

1 -5 -5  4   -5 
I do believe it,
-2 -5  5 <-3   5    -5 
 I do believe it's true.
  
<-3  4  -5   -6   -5 5  <-3  3
It's a light and tumble journey
<-3   4   -5   -6  -5  5  <-3  
From the East Side to the park;
<-3  4  -5  <-3 <-5 -5 5 <-3
Just a fine and  fancy ramble
<-3 4   4
To the zoo.

<-3 -5  <3   -5  <3   <-3  4   <-3
But you can take the crosstown bus
<-3 4   -5  -6  -5  4   <-3
If it's raining or it's cold,
<-3  4 -5 -6 -5  4   <-3  3 
And the animals will love it
-7  5  -7
If you do.

Somethin' tells me
 3   -4   3  2  1  -1  2   1  
It's all happening at the zoo.

1 -5 -5  4   -5 
I do believe it,
-2 -5  5 <-3   5    -5 
 I do believe it's true.

The monkeys stand for honesty,
 4  -5   -6  -5 5  5  
Giraffes are insincere,
<-3  4  -5 -6 -5   4  <-3 3  <-3   4      4 
And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb.
<-3 -5 <5  -5  5 <-3 4 <-3
Orangutans are skeptical
5  -5 -6   -5   4   4  <-3
Of changes in their cages,
<-3  4  -5 -6 -5  4 <-3 3 <-3  4 -6 -5
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.

-5 -6  -5  4 <-3 3 <-3 4
Zebras are reactionaries,
-5 -6 -5   4  <-3 3 <-3 4
Antelopes are missionaries,
-5 -6   -5   4 <-3 3 <-3
Pigeons plot in secrecy,
 5   -5 -6    -5  4  <-3 3 <-3
And hamsters turn on frequently.
<-3 <-3 -6 -5
What a gas! 
 5  -5 4  <-3   3  <-3 
You gotta come and see
<-3 <-3 -6 -5
 At the zoo.
fade:
<-3 <-3 -6 -5
 At the zoo.
<-3 <-3 -6 -5
 At the zoo.
