Lyrics At the Zoo - Simon & Garfunkel

Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
I do believe it's true

Its 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 rainin' or it's cold
And the animals will love it if you do
If you do, now

Something 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 zookeeper is very fond of rum

Zebras are reactionaries
Antelopes are missionaries
Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently

What a gas, you have to come and see
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
At the zoo
