A
Someone told me
It's all happening at the zoo
D
I do believe it
G                  Em
I do believe it's true

        G                   Em
It's a light and tumble journey
          G               Em
From the East Side to the park
        G              Em            D
Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo

 G                          Em
But you can take the crosstown bus
         G               Em
If it's raining or it's cold
        G             Em
And the animals will love it
        A  Em           A Em
If you do, if you do now

A
Something tells me
It's all happening at the zoo
D
I do believe it
G                  Em
I do believe it's true

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

        G    Em
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo...
