Knocking 'Round the Zoo

Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon

There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons

And if I'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave

But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave

Now the keeper's trying to cool me says I'm bound to be alright

But I know that he can't fool me 'cause I'm putting him uptight

And I can feel him getting edgy every time I make a sudden move

And I can hear them celebrating every time I up and leave the room

Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare

Said he's just like the rest of us so what's he doing in there

They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight

'Cause they're certain about one thing that zoo's no place to spend the

night

Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon

There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons

And if I'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave

But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks I'm trying to misbehave
