ADRIAN BELEW - HOT ZOO lyrics

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
