Drinking my vodka and lime, I look around, Leaves are brown, And the sky is a hazy shade of winter. It's all happening at the zoo. And the animals will love it If you do. It's all happening at the zoo. 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. You gotta come and see At the zoo. You're shaking my confidence daily. Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please to come home. You're shaking my confidence daily.
