About At the Zoo

The At The Zoo Songfacts tells us that in 1991 a children's book was published by Paul Simon, titled "Simon and Garfunkel at the Zoo," with rich, chocolatey illustrations by Valerie Michaut. However, the lyrics and concepts had to be altered slightly; for instance, the hamsters were given little headlights on their head to explain why they'd "turn on." .

At the Zoo Lyrics

[00:00.33] Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo
[00:06.32] I do believe it
[00:09.14] I do believe it's true
[00:12.60] Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
[00:18.20] Woah-oh
[00:21.11] Hmm-hmm-hmm
[00:24.02] It's a light and tumble journey
[00:26.63] From the East side to the park
[00:29.99] Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo
[00:36.28] But you can take the cross-town bus
[00:38.47] If it's rainin' or it's cold
[00:41.35] And the animals will love it if you do
[00:47.40] If you do now
[00:52.13]
[00:56.53] Something tells me it's all happening at the zoo
[01:02.24] I do believe it
[01:05.26] I do believe it's true
[01:08.59] Hmm-hmm-hm, hmm-hmm
[01:14.18] Woah-oh
[01:16.90] Hmm-hmm-hmm
[01:19.99] The monkeys stand for honesty
[01:23.06] Giraffes are insincere
[01:25.34] And the elephants are kindly
[01:28.29] But they're dumb
[01:32.19] Orangutans are sceptical
[01:34.23] Of changes in their cages
[01:36.80] And the zookeeper is very fond of rum
[01:43.06] Zebras are reactionaries
[01:45.99] Antelopes are missionaries
[01:48.87] Pigeons plot in secrecy
[01:51.59] And hamsters turn on frequently
[01:54.04] What a gas, you have to come and see
[01:56.90] At the zoo
[01:59.61] At the zoo
[02:02.59] At the zoo
[02:05.31] At the zoo
[02:08.22] At the zoo
[02:11.00] At the zoo
[02:13.93] At the zoo
[02:16.85] At the zoo
[02:17.56]
