Zoo Class
Welcome to the jungle or at least that's what it seems,
You never see the cages the illusion is you're free,
Every day's a lesson delivered with a smile
To remind you there's no future on this planet for a creature truly wild
Zoo class, zoo class, sitting on your ass trying not to laugh in zoo class
Gorillas in the doorway, lizards in the lounge,
Offering their camels, Moscow mules are going down,
It's a long way to the dance floor,
Even longer getting back as the crow flies, even as the crow flies,
Zoo class, zoo class, sitting on your ass
and trying not to laugh in zoo class
Talk with the animals, fuck with the animals,
hump and grunt and suck and sweat,
loving like an animal, living with the animals,
Tired of the rabbit and pig sick of the cow,
dreamed of hunting beaver and the balls to fool around,
Put a birdie on the bunker she took eagles on the green,
And the snake in the long grass ate pussy,
And that cat got the cream.
Zoo class, zoo class sitting on your ass and trying not to laugh,
Staring through the glass at the wildlife going past in zoo class,
Zoo class, zoo class staring through the glass
and trying not to laugh in zoo class,
Bears are hunting Wall Street, watching dead cats bounce,
The paper tigers whimper at the clicking of a mouse,
The pigs are grilling suspects; a canary starts to sing,
He'll be swimming with the fishes sure as Pavlov's dog drools
when that bell starts to ring,
Zoo class, zoo class sitting on your ass and trying not to laugh,
Staring through the glass at the wildlife going past,
Pray it lasts forever you pray it's going to last,
Learning Life's lessons in situ in Zoo Class,
Zoo class, travelling zoo class!
