Hot Zoo Lyrics - Adrian Belew

Pay here chimpanzee 

Don't park under the aviary 

Walk through heatwave afternoon fast food, hot zoo 

Do the shuffle to the buffalo 

See the mad monkey by the lonely pay phone 

Let's go fishin' in the air conditioned dark 

Man, look at the bite on that great big bark 

Waste here, souvenir land 

Don't feed, nobody your hand 

Rest room photograph pachyderm cat house, hot zoo 

Three sleepy zebra in their living room suits 

Joke with a crazy cockatoo 

Big giraffe in their injured party hats say 

"Are you gonna watch our customary nap?" 

Eat here, a dinosaur egg 

Don't touch, the tarantula legs 

March like army ants itchin' for a PX, hot zoo 

I dig iguana in their outer space duds 

Sayin', "Aren't you glad we only eat bugs?" 

Closing time, quick! close those gates 

Capture a few of these human apes 

Exit here, kangaroo 

Don't forget to come back soon
