At The Zoo

Mark Lennon, of the band Venice, visits a zoo and sings of the experience, with new lyrics to the Paul Simon song.

Someone told me it's all happening at the ZOO
Can I believe it, can I believe it's true?
Mmm, mmm, mhoah, mmm
Rumors fly, so I thought I,
Better go & see it for myself
At the Bears I saw this little girl in tears
I said, "Can you tell me darlin'
What could possibly be so bad?"
She said, " All the Animals, they look so sad
Why do they look so sad?"
(why?, why?, why?)
But someone told me it's all wonderful at the ZOO
Can I believe it, can I believe it's true?
Mmm, mmm, mhoah, mmm
The Monkeys stopped their swingin'
The Giraffes can't reach the trees
And the Chimpanzees have lost their sense of fun
The Kangaroos have quit their jumpin'
Hyenas laugh no more
And the Pink Flamingos have no way to fly
The Lions ceased their mighty roar
And the Snow Leopard ain't got no snow
The Elephants are dreamin'
They're always dreamin' of some place
Where they can... run
They got to get away, from the ZOO
This is happenin', at the ZOO
Zookeepers are boozin', at the ZOO
And the Rhinos are rumblin', at the ZOO
The Panthers are pacin', at the ZOO
Gorillas are rockin', at the ZOO
They got to get away, from the ZOO
Just got to get away, from the ZOO

Mark Lennon, you are a beautiful, wise, and wonderful human being. Thank you.

@magcouch Yes Mark is all those things and MUCH MORE! So is his brother Michael who made the instruments sound so much like the original song.

I refused to re-up my local zoo membership until the habitats are vastly upgraded.

The zoos are just horrible jails...only us, the humans are enough stupid for create and visit those places...does anyone like to live all their life among hideous? I don´t think so.
