The Boatswains - Zoo Day Lyrics

It was 1977 and life on earth was heaven
Hopped into the Plymouth and headed down the street
To the Seven-Eleven
Slim Jims and a Slurpee and some Zingers and some Ding Dongs
And we're on our way
Didn't need to wear my seat belt restrained by the joy I felt
Today is Zoo Day

Zoo Day Zoo Day
Monkeys and gorillas the giraffes are gonna thrill us
Zoo Day it's Zoo Day
Snakes and lizards and imaginary wizards
It's Zoo Day today
It's Zoo Day today
It's Zoo Day today

My sister spilled her red flavor Slurpee on her pretty white shirt
I couldn't help it so I teased her and then her feelings were hurt
Granny flicked my ear and I held back a tear as I started to say
Granny you can flick me and sister you can kick me it's a small price I'm willing to pay

For Zoo Day Zoo Day
You can't steal my joy I'm a happy little boy
In the zoo yeah it's Zoo Day
A rhino and a hippo and I think I'm gonna flippo
It's Zoo Day today
It's Zoo Day today
It's Zoo Day today
Yeah

Zoo Day Zoo Day
Monkeys and gorillas the giraffes are gonna thrill us
Zoo day it's Zoo Day
Snakes and lizards and imaginary wizards
It's Zoo Day today
It's Zoo Day today
It's Zoo Day today
It's Zoo Day today
