Will Oldham - WHAT'S WRONG WITH A ZOO lyrics

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)
