ADAM & THE ANTS
- The Idea Lyrics / with translationsAdam Ant
I went to the zoo
to look at the animals
the first thing I saw
was a wallfull of handclaps
some wearing green hats
and all sucking chocky bars
so I went and looked at
the three horned chameleon
the idea
he walked up and down
just trying to get close to me
a split little hand
scratching at the glass
I looked at the snakes
and I looked at the crocodiles
you'd better
show me the man
who made all of this
the idea
I could be religious if ...
you didn't have to kneel down
I could be religious if ...
a god would say "hello"
I could be religious if ...
an angel touched my shoulder
I could be religious if ...
they set the hymns to disco
(like this)
holy holy holy
lord god almighty
god in three persons
beloved trinity
holy holy holy
all the saints adore thee
christ in three persons
belovedtrinity
the idea
I went to the zoo

just trying to get close to me
a split little hand

and I looked at the crocodiles
