| 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 |
