[Chorus]
       A7                  D7
Just a-knockin' 'round the zoo

      A7               D7
On a Thursday afternoon

        A7                D7
There's bars on all the windows

             A7                         D7
And they're countin' up the spoons, babe

D7
And if I'm feelin' edgy

                              A7           D7       A7       D7
There's a chick who's paid to be my slave, yeah, oh watch out James

      A    E7
But she'll hit me with a needle

       D7                              A7   D7  A7  E7(+9)
If she thinks I'm tryin' to misbehave yeah
[Verse 1]
        A7                      D7
Now the keeper's tryin' to cool me

         A7              D7
Says I'm bound to be all right

       A7                 D
But I know that he can't fool me

           A7                    D7
'Cause I'm puttin' him uptight, yeah

 D7
And I can feel him gettin' edgy

                               A7         D7         A7
Every time I make a sudden move, whoa whoa, yes it's true

D7        E7(+9)
And I can hear them celebratin'

      D7                          A7  D7  A7  E7(+9)
Every time I up and leave the room
[Verse 2]
        A7                     D7
Now my friends all come to see me

           A7              D7
They just point at me and stare

       A7                      D7
Said: "He's just like the rest of us

     A7              D7
So what's he doin' there?"

 D7
Now they hide in their movie theaters

                          A7              D7        A7
Drinkin' juice, keepin' tight, watch that bright light, bishop

D7              E7(+9)
Because they're certain 'bout one thing, babe

     D7                                 A7  D7  A7  E7(+9)
That zoo's no place to spend the night, no
[Chorus]
       A7                  D7
Just a-knockin' 'round the zoo

      A7               D7
On a Thursday afternoon

        A7                D7
There's bars on all the windows

             A7                         D7

D7
And if I'm feelin' edgy

                              A7           D7       A7       D7
There's a chick who's paid to be my slave, yeah, oh watch out Kootch

      A    E7
But she'll hit me with a needle

       D7                          A7   D7  A7  E7(+9)
If she thinks I'm tryin' to misbehave
