Lyrics
I love to go to the zoo
Chorus:
I love to go to the zoo
To see what the animals do
Come with me
There's a lot to see
We're going to the zoo
There's a giraffe with a long neck
Looking far over the land
Tip toe, tip toe past the alligator
Lying in the sand.
The leopard has spots, and the tiger's striped
The lion a coat and a mane
All the feathered creatures make a different sound
But they're all birds, just the same....Cho
Two little rabbits go hop hop
The snake just slithers away
Hear the monkeys chatter, swinging in the tree
They play, play, play all day
Curl up your trunk, Mister Elephant
Shake those big floppy ears
Do I see stripes on a pony? Zebra
And look! There are so many bears!.......Cho
The animals stay in different spaces
In the shade, or out in the sun
Some in a cage, and others in a den
To show to everyone.
The keeper knows exactly how to feed them
Whether they are big or small
Food, exercise, and water
The animals need them all
I love to go to the zoo
To see what the animals do
Come with me
There's a lot to see
Come with me
There's a lot to see
We're going to the zoo
