Capo: 3rd Fret
Into
C majorC G+G FF C majorC C G+G FF C majorC
Am:Down at the zoo, G:there isn't any noise
Em:It's much too early, G:for girls and boys
Am:The monkeys have a plan, G:but you mustn't say a word
Em:They're going to do it quietly, G:so they can't be heard
F:They're sawing through the bars
C:They're climbing out the cage
G:They're tiptoeing past the zoo keeper
F:They're running out the gates
C:Because today G:the monkeys are F:breaking out the C:zoo (x2)
Am:The zoo keeper's sleeping, G:he hasn't heard a thing
Em:All of the monkeys, G:escaping
Am:When he wakes up, G:he's going to get a shock
Em:He's lost all the monkeys, G:and they won't come back
F:They're skipping down the street
C:They're beating on their chests
G:They're laughing and screeching
F:And scratching their heads
C:Because today G:the monkeys are F:breaking out the C:zoo (x4)
Am:If you plan to go, G:to the zoo today
Em:You won't see monkeys, G:cuz they've gone away
F:They're heading for the mountains
C:They're heading for the trees
G:They're happy just to run around
F:And they're happy to be free
F:Some are hailing taxis
C:Some are riding bikes
G:Some are swimming rivers
F:Some are flying kites
F:Now they're jumping
C:And swinging from the trees
G:Rolling on the floor
F:And picking out the fleas
C:Because today G:the monkeys have F:broken out the C:zoo (x8)
