Take me to the zoo. I wanna see what the animals do
Take me to the zoo, and I'll spend the day just walking around the zoo with you
I wanna look at a toad, gaze at a goat. I know, I wanna see a Rhino
Elephants are there with trunks, I wanna be there when the big bear grunts
Take me down to the lion's cage. I wanna hear that roar when he's in a rage
Take me to the zoo. I wanna see what the animals do
Take me to the zoo, and I'll spend the day just walking around the zoo with you
The zoo's gotta shrew and a kangaroo, a vampire bat and a bobcat too
A big tall giraffe and a calf, the chimpanzees way up in the trees
Orangutans apes and monkeys too, yea, the big baboon is such a goon
See there's a male gorilla and a female gorilla
I'll bet she's the gorilla his dreams
A camel is a mammal with a hump or two
You got your alligators and your crocodiles too
Anaconda and a lama and a leopard and a lynx
All hold their nose cause skunky stinks
Take me to the zoo. I wanna see what the animals do
Take me to the zoo, and I'll spend the day just walking around the zoo with you
I wanna see a snake in the grass, through the glass
A gold finch just sit'n in a bench
The reptile's got such a smile, the koo-koo bird looks so absurd
Marmoset sit'n on a log with a frog
There's a fox squirrel play'n with a prairie dog
Take me to the zoo, take me to the zoo, take me to the zoo
I said take me to the zoo, why don't you take me to the zoo, take me to the zoo
Yea take me, come on now take, take me to the zoo
