Lyrics of At the Zoo by Simon & Garfunkel
chorus
Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
I do believe it's true
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Woah-oh
Hmm-hmm-hmm
verse
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 cross-town bus
If it's rainin' or it's cold
And the animals will love it if you do
If you do now
chorus
Something tells me it's all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
I do believe it's true
Hmm-hmm-hm, hmm-hmm
Woah-oh
Hmm-hmm-hmm
verse
The monkeys stand for honesty
Giraffes are insincere
And the elephants are kindly
But they're dumb
verse
Orangutans are sceptical
Of changes in their cages
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum
verse
Zebras are reactionaries
Antelopes are missionaries
Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently
outro
What a gas, you have to come and see
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
Writer(s): Paul Simon
