Lyrics Hazel O'Connor

Hazel O'Connor

Zoo

What can I do? Up here in the zoo

I've been here too much longer than I remember

What can I say, will there be a day

When we can all leave this place forever, forever, forever

Wake up at 8, place you hate

Ready by 9 for feeding time

Spectators at 10 to look in your pen

And we perform for them

At the zoo, you, you what do you do

At the zoo, you, you we perform for you

At the zoo, you, you what do you care

You just stand there and stare

Animals cry at night, a tearful tiger is a terrible sight

He remembers how he used to run free like me

And we don't laugh anymore

Sitting wondering what we ever laughed for

Looking at the ever closed door

What more, what more

At the zoo, you, you what do you do

At the zoo, you, you we perform for you

At the zoo, you, you what do you care

You just stand there and stare
