From the recording Somebody Said There'd Be Cookies
Lyrics
Look at the Tiger and lions with their Mighty Roars
Orangutans and Monkeys that like to fidget with the doors
Pocket gophers and ground hogs popping in and out of holes
Fat hippos and tall giraffes with the necks as long as poles
And you ask
Where are the Zebras with their monochromatic hue
Among all the Colors in this zoo
Animals are color blind so it doesn’t matter anyway
I’d rather stick with the Blacks , Whites and Grays .
And you Scream
Where are the Zebras in the Zoo
You promised I could see them if I came with you
Where are the zebras in this zoo .
Where are the zebras in this zoo.
See the Colored feathers that flock together in the Aviary
Tortoises and lizards find the sun is the place to be
Look at the mallard ducks and the pink flamingos
You grab me by the sleeve and say come on can we go
And find the Zebras with their monochromatic hue
Among all the Colors in this zoo
Well Animals are color blind so it doesn’t matter anyway
I’d rather stick with the Blacks , Whites and Grays .
And you Scream
I found the Zebras in the Zoo
Can we sit and watch them for an hour or two
Just me and you
Watching the zebras in the zoo
I guess Next time I’ll bring a book or two
Watching the Zebras in the Zoo
Watching the Zebras in the Zoo
