Life is simple, down at the zoo
Love is easy, down there with you
We can ride on top of an elephant
And the world outside is irrelevant
Deep inside of our hearts we are animals too
D-d-d-down at the zoo

D-down, down at the zoo
D-down, down there with you

Skies are sunny, down at the zoo
Life is funny, down there with you
Little children beg for a new balloon
When the old one flies like a desert moon
From the animals veiw we're just animals too
D-d-d-down at the zoo

Buy a ticket for the monkeyshow
Everybody want's to say hello
Can you tell me mister where the lovers go
Where are the peanuts?
And where is my money?
Ice-cream, tutti-frutti ice-cream!
Smile for the cameral!

Eyes are shining, down at the zoo
Life is smiling, down there with you
So you work all week for the company
And your eyes get red in the factory
What the animals know, all the animals do
I said: down at the zoo

D-down, down at the zoo
D-down, down at the zoo

Skies are sunny, down at the zoo
Life is funny, down there with you
Yeah
