Chorus:
    A7A7         D7D7
Just a-knockin' 'round the zoo
   A7A7        D7D7
On a Thursday afternoon
    A7A7        D7D7
There's bars on all the windows
       A7A7             D7D7
And they're countin' up the spoons, babe
D7D7
And if I'm feelin' edgy
               A7A7      D7D7    A7A7    D7D7
There's a chick who's paid to be my slave, yeah, oh watch out James
   A augmentedA  E7E7
But she'll hit me with a needle
    D7D7               A7A7  D7D7 A7A7 E7(+9)
If she thinks I'm tryin' to misbehave yeah

Verse 1:
    A7A7           D7D7
Now the keeper's tryin' to cool me
     A7A7       D7D7
Says I'm bound to be all right
    A7A7         D MajorD
But I know that he can't fool me
      A7A7          D7D7
'Cause I'm puttin' him uptight, yeah
 D7D7
And I can feel him gettin' edgy
                A7A7     D7D7     A7A7
Every time I make a sudden move, whoa whoa, yes it's true
D7D7    E7(+9)
And I can hear them celebratin'
   D7D7             A7A7 D7D7 A7A7 E7(+9)
Every time I up and leave the room

Verse 2:
    A7A7           D7D7
Now my friends all come to see me
      A7A7       D7D7
They just point at me and stare
    A7A7           D7D7
Said: "He's just like the rest of us
   A7A7       D7D7
So what's he doin' there?"
 D7D7
Now they hide in their movie theaters
             A7A7       D7D7    A7A7
Drinkin' juice, keepin' tight, watch that bright light, bishop
D7D7       E7(+9)
Because they're certain 'bout one thing, babe
   D7D7                 A7A7 D7D7 A7A7 E7(+9)
That zoo's no place to spend the night, no

Chorus:
    A7A7         D7D7
Just a-knockin' 'round the zoo
   A7A7        D7D7
On a Thursday afternoon
    A7A7        D7D7
There's bars on all the windows
       A7A7             D7D7
And they're countin' up the spoons, babe
D7D7
And if I'm feelin' edgy
               A7A7      D7D7    A7A7    D7D7
There's a chick who's paid to be my slave, yeah, oh watch out Kootch
   A augmentedA  E7E7
But she'll hit me with a needle
    D7D7             A7A7  D7D7 A7A7 E7(+9)
If she thinks I'm tryin' to misbehave
