- Zombie Zoo LyricsAll down the street they're standin' in line
With white lipstick and one thing on their mind
Hey little freak with the lunch pail purse
Underneath th e paint you're just a little girl
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo, dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo
Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod
Is your mother in a clinic ? has your father got no job ?
Sometimes you're so impulsive
You shaved off all you're hair
You look like Boris Karloff and you don't even care
You're dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do is
Dance down at the Zombie Zoo
She disappears at sunrise, I wonder where
She goes until the night
Comes fallin' down again
She shows up with her friends half-alive
You can make a big impression or
Go through life unseen
You might wind up restricted and over seventeen
It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be lead
Somewhere beyond the pavement
You'll find the living dead
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo, dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo
Yeah dancin at the Zombie Zoo
Yeah dancin at the Zombie Zoo
With white lipstick and one thing on their mind
Hey little freak with the lunch pail purse
Underneath th e paint you're just a little girl
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo, dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo
Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod
Is your mother in a clinic ? has your father got no job ?
Sometimes you're so impulsive
You shaved off all you're hair
You look like Boris Karloff and you don't even care
You're dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do is
She disappears at sunrise, I wonder where
She goes until the night
Comes fallin' down again
She shows up with her friends half-alive
You can make a big impression or
Go through life unseen
You might wind up restricted and over seventeen
It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be lead
Somewhere beyond the pavement
You'll find the living dead
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo, dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo
Yeah dancin at the Zombie Zoo
Yeah dancin at the Zombie Zoo

When we break down the message within the lyrics, Tom Petty's 'Zombie Zoo' is a prophetic song about the zoo of dead people, where people meet zThen again, what are you, a kid? Robots do not have true feelings, which is why they need to flaunt their skins and dazzle others with their different colors, so to speak. It is all the same to these people in the end. The 'Zombie Zoo' represents the ultimate dance floor in hell, where every move declares the struggle of keeping one’s self and moreover, the message of light and hope in the darkest of places. The 'Zombie Zoo' lyrics also touch on several subjects, such as outright partying, socialization, and reflections on the rather ironic nature of life. Still, the song highlights youth and rebellion, self-identity and self-expression, and the need to escape reality at the same time. The lyrics feature some adult themes and allusions that may not be understood by smaller children, like the consequences of erratic behavior or family problems. Nevertheless, there are no overt profanities, violence, or drug-related topics that might prevent the track from being played in a general audience setting if accompanied by parents.
