Now they hide in their movie theaters Drinking juice and keeping tight Better watch out for the bright light baby Because they're certain about one thing: The Zoo's no place to spend the night, no (Chorus)A Just knocking 'round the zoo On a Thursday afternoon There's bars on all the windows And they're counting upon the spoons D If I'm feeling edgy A There's a chick who's paid to be my slave E But she'll hit me with a needle D A If she thinks I'm trying to misbehave
