When the day is dull and dreary
When you're feeling low
When your spirit's worn and weary
Here's where you should go:

Chorus:
Zany Zoo, Zany Zoo
You might not think it's true
But once you see the Zany Zoo
No other zoo will ever do
The penguins play on pogo sticks
Bouncing up and down
They do the wiggle waddle
As they twist and turn around
The zebras zip around on skates
And pass out carrot cakes
And the tigers take you out to lunch
And order cherry shakes
Repeat Chorus
The Yak all yank on yo -yos
And perform terrific tricks
They swing the yo-yos round their horns
And do karate kicks
The goose wears tiny glasses
As she weaves a feather fan
And the lions whistle classics
>From Stravinsky to Chopin
See the jolly green giraffe
With red and yellow spots
He does a yoga headstand
As he ties his legs in knots
The skunks sneak up and spray you
With the finest French perfumes
And the peacocks pick your pockets
When you try to pick their plumes
Repeat Chorus
Gorillas all get bubble gum
And chew gigantic wads
Then blow enormous bubbles
As the cheering crowd applauds
They blow the bubbles bigger
'Til they get so big at last
The bubbles burst in one big boom
Just like a cannon blast
Repeat Chorus
