Life is simple down at the Zoo

Love is easy down there with you

We can ride on top of an elephant

And the world outside is irrelevant

Deep inside of our hearts we are animals too

Down at the Zoo



Skies are sunny Down at the Zoo

Life is funny down there with you

Little children beg for a new balloon

When the old one flies like a desert moon

From the animals view were just animals too

Down at the Zoo



Buy a ticket for the Monkey Show

Everybody wants to say hallo

Can you tell me Mister where the lovers go

Where are the peanuts

And where is my money

Ice-cream tutti-frutti ice-cream

Smile for the camera



Eyes are shining Down at the Zoo

Life is smiling down there with you

So you work all week for the company

And your eyes get red in the factory

What the animals know all the animals do

Down at the Zoo
