Down at the zoo, there isnt any noise
Its much too early, for girls and boys
The monkeys have a plan, but you mustnt say a word
Theyre going to do it quietly, so they cant be heard
Theyre sawing through the bars
Theyre climbing out the cage
Theyre tiptoeing past the zoo keeper
Theyre running out the gates
Because today the monkeys are breaking out the zoo (x2)
The zoo keepers sleeping, he hasnt heard a thing
All of the monkeys, escaping
When he wakes up, hes going to get a shock
Hes lost all the monkeys, and they wont come back
Theyre skipping down the street
Theyre beating on their chests
Theyre laughing and screeching
And scratching their heads
Because today the monkeys are breaking out the zoo (x4)
If you plan to go, to the zoo today
You wont see monkeys, cuz theyve gone away
Theyre heading for the mountains
Theyre heading for the trees
Theyre happy just to run around
And theyre happy to be free
Some are hailing taxis
Some are riding bikes
Some are swimming rivers
Some are flying kites
Now theyre jumping
And swinging from the trees
Rolling on the floor
And picking out the fleas
Because today the monkeys have broken out the zoo (x8)
