Words & music by Paul Simon
Someone told me
It's all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it
I do believe it's true.
Hum Hum Hum Hum
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 crosstown bus
If it's raining or it's cold
And the animals will love it
If you do.
If you do.
Oo... Oo...
Somethin' tells me
It's all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it,
I do believe it's true.
Hum Hum Hum Hum
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 re-actionaries
Antelopes are missionaries
Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! You gotta come and see
At the zoo.
At the zoo.
