Ted Gärdestad - Down at the Zoo Lyrics

Life is simple down at the Zoo
Love is easy down there with you
We can ride on top of an elephant
And the world outside is irrelevant
Deep inside of our hearts we are animals too
Down at the Zoo
Skies are sunny Down at the Zoo
Life is funny down there with you
Little children beg for a new balloon
When the old one flies like a desert moon
From the animals´ view we´re just animals too
Down at the Zoo
Buy a ticket for the Monkey Show
Everybody wants to say hello
Can you tell me Mister where the lovers go
Where are the peanuts
And where is my money
Ice-cream tutti-frutti ice-cream
Smile for the camera
Eyes are shining Down at the Zoo
Life is smiling down there with you
So you work all week for the company
And your eyes get red in the factory
What the animals know all the animals do
Down at the Zoo

Life is simple down at the Zoo
Love is easy down there with you
We can ride on top of an elephant
And the world outside is irrelevant
Deep inside of our hearts we are animals too
Down at the Zoo
Skies are sunny Down at the Zoo
Life is funny down there with you
Little children beg for a new balloon
When the old one flies like a desert moon
From the animals´ view we´re just animals too
Down at the Zoo
Buy a ticket for the Monkey Show
Everybody wants to say hello
Can you tell me Mister where the lovers go
Where are the peanuts
And where is my money
Ice-cream tutti-frutti ice-cream
Smile for the camera
Eyes are shining Down at the Zoo
Life is smiling down there with you
So you work all week for the company
And your eyes get red in the factory
What the animals know all the animals do
Down at the Zoo
