What's Wrong With A Zoo Lyrics - Will Oldham

what's wrong with a zoo 

what's wrong with a zoo (2x) 

i asked them in 

invited them in 

oh cordially 

sat each one down 

down on the couch 

so I could see 

what's wrong with a zoo 

what's wrong with a zoo (2x) 

show me some skin 

kiss on my chin 

and kiss my mouth 

i learned the way 

to love you today 

was to have you down 

monkey was maimed 

black and white aim 

a chimp no more 

monkey's last act 

had been to attack 

a child of four 

what's wrong with a zoo 

what's wrong with a zoo (2x) 

so i pile misdeed 

upon misdeed 

throw in some love 

where i see need of love 

an eloquent way 

to bring an end 

is exit the bay 

in graceful swim 

a box folds in half 

and brings on a laugh 

from everyone 

who needs to sleep 

when sleeping just keeps 

our life undone 

what's wrong with a zoo 

what's wrong with a zoo (2x)
