It's a light and tumble journey
from the East Side to the park.
Just a fine and fancy ramble
to the zoo
But you can take the crosstown bus
if it's raining or it's cold.
And the animals will love it
if you do
Somethin' tells me
it's all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
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 zoo-keeper 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
at the zoo!
