UPSIDE-DOWNY BATS
AND STRIPY CATS
AND MONKEYS TOO
BIG COW PATS AND
KEEPER'S HATS AND
THINGS THAT WHIFF AND PHEW
BIRDS THAT
STAND ON SPIKY LEGS
WHILE OTHERS BILL AND COO
YES, THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT
OF SADNESS IN THE ZOO
YOU CAN KNOCK IT
YOU CAN ROCK IT
YOU CAN GO TO TIMBUKTU
BUT YOU'LL NEVER FIND
A NESSIE IN THE ZOO
YOU MAY SEE AN ANACONDA
A GIRAFFE AND KANGAROO
BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE
A NESSIE IN THE ZOO
WHILE DOLPHINS LEAP
SEALIONS SLEEP
GORILLAS STARE AT YOU
CAMELS RIDE
AND PENGUINS SLIDE
TO CATCH A FISH OR TWO
SLY VULTURES
LOOK YOU IN THE EYE
AND SEE YOU AS A STEW
AT FEEDING TIME THEY'D
MAKE A HEARTY MEAL OF YOU
YOU CAN KNOCK IT
YOU CAN ROCK IT
YOU CAN GO TO TIMBUKTU
BUT YOU'LL NEVER FIND
A NESSIE IN THE ZOO
YOU CAN GO TO AUCTOMUCKTY
AND TO DRUMNADROCIT TOO
BUT YOU'LL NEVER FIND
A NESSIE IN THE ZOO
CREEPY-CRAWLY THINGS
AND YAWNING KINGS
STAY OUT OF VIEW
HIPPOPOTOMI
DON'T BAT AN EYE
THEY WALLOW IN THE GOO
WHILE CUDDLY BEARS
JUST HUG IN PAIRS
HYENAS LAUGH AT YOU
AND THERE IS NOT A LOT
TO LAUGH AT IN THE ZOO
YOU CAN KNOCK IT
YOU CAN ROCK IT
YOU CAN GO TO TIMBUKTU
BUT YOU'LL NEVER FIND
A NESSIE IN THE ZOO
YOU MAY SEE AN ANACONDA
A GIRAFFE AND KANGAROO
BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE
A NESSIE IN THE ZOO
YOU CAN KNOCK IT
YOU CAN ROCK IT
YOU CAN GO TO TIMBUKTU
BUT YOU'LL NEVER FIND
A NESSIE IN THE ZOO
YOU CAN GO TO AUCTOMUCKTY
AND TO DRUMNADROCIT TOO
BUT YOU'LL NEVER
FIND A NESSIE
NO, YOU'LL NEVER
FIND A NESSIE
NO, YOU'LL NEVER
FIND A NESSIE IN THE ZOO...
