Raising Helen movie - At the Zoo lyrics

rate me

Song by Simon and Garfunkel<br /><br>

Someone told me<br>

It's all happening at the zoo.<br>

<br>

I do believe it,<br>

I do believe it's true.<br>

<br>

It's a light and tumble journey<br>

From the East Side to the park;<br>

Just a fine and fancy ramble<br>

To the zoo.<br>

<br>

But you can take the crosstown bus<br>

If it's raining or it's cold,<br>

And the animals will love it<br>

If you do.<br>

<br>

Somethin' tells me<br>

It's all happening at the zoo.<br>

<br>

The monkeys stand for honesty,<br>

Giraffes are insincere,<br>

And the elephants are kindly but<br>

They're dumb.<br>

Orangutans are skeptical<br>

Of changes in their cages,<br>

And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.<br>

<br>

Zebras are reactionaries,<br>

Antelopes are missionaries,<br>

Pigeons plot in secrecy,<br>

And hamsters turn on frequently.<br>

What a gas! You gotta come and see<br>

At the zoo.<br>

<br>
