lyrics

It’s been a bad day at the zoo.
A bear got excited and decided to bust loose.
He scared all the children,
then he ate a few.
We forgot all about it when they gave us free balloons.

It’s been a bad, bad, bad, bad day at the zoo.

If a whale of a shark comes along and offers you a ride.
with a tale that is long and eyes open wide.
And said stare into the mouth of a true believer,
then turned into a god,
well I wouldn't trust him either.

It’s been a bad, bad, bad, bad day at the zoo

Yawning lions, lick their de-clawed paws.
The darkness in the skies is a rain of frogs
playing with matches under plastic trees.
Why don't you go back to sleep?

It’s been a bad, bad, bad, bad day at the zoo.
