Come with me to the petting zoo
Its waist high turnstile gate
Come with me to the petting zoo
We’ll prove it’s not too late
For them to corner something new
They can humiliate
You know the zoo in Phoenix Park
Began with one wild boar
It’s in the zoo in Phoenix Park
We heard the lion roar
And disappointment made its mark
On the thorn forest floor

I guess we’ll hire two folding bikes
They rent them by the day
I guess we’ll hire two folding bikes
And you’ll meet me halfway
Why do orangutans look like
They’re wearing bad toupees?
The mealworm and the cricket snacks
The tender foliage
The mealworm and the cricket snacks
They’re still stored in a fridge
For when the polar bears start back
Across the old land bridge

You snuggled up to me at dawn
For fear I’d oversleep
You snuggled up to me at dawn
The tickets are dirt cheap
For outings in the carriage drawn

By two Merino sheep
So come with me to the petting zoo
And we’ll see how things stand
Come with me to the petting zoo
I’ll learn to take commands
I’m sure we’ll find something to do
If we’ve time on our hands
