[Chord diagramA minorAm]Down at the zoo, [Chord diagramG+G]there isn’t any noise
[Chord diagramE minorEm]It’s much too early, [Chord diagramG+G]for girls and boys
[Chord diagramA minorAm]The monkeys have a plan, [Chord diagramG+G]but you mustn’t say a word
[Chord diagramE minorEm]They’re going to do it quietly, [Chord diagramG+G]so they can’t be heard

[Chord diagramFF]They’re sawing through the bars
[Chord diagramC majorC]They’re climbing out the cage
[Chord diagramG+G]They’re tiptoeing past the zoo keeper
[Chord diagramFF]They’re running out the gates

[Chord diagramC majorC]Because today [Chord diagramG+G]the monkeys are [Chord diagramFF]breaking out the [Chord diagramC majorC]zoo (x2)

[Chord diagramA minorAm]The zoo keeper’s sleeping, [Chord diagramG+G]he hasn’t heard a thing
[Chord diagramE minorEm]All of the monkeys, [Chord diagramG+G]escaping
[Chord diagramA minorAm]When he wakes up, [Chord diagramG+G]he’s going to get a shock
[Chord diagramE minorEm]He’s lost all the monkeys, [Chord diagramG+G]and they won’t come back

[Chord diagramFF]They’re skipping down the street
[Chord diagramC majorC]They’re beating on their chests
[Chord diagramG+G]They’re laughing and screeching
[Chord diagramFF]And scratching their heads

[Chord diagramC majorC]Because today [Chord diagramG+G]the monkeys are [Chord diagramFF]breaking out the [Chord diagramC majorC]zoo (x4)

[Chord diagramA minorAm]If you plan to go, [Chord diagramG+G]to the zoo today
[Chord diagramE minorEm]You won’t see monkeys, [Chord diagramG+G]cuz they’ve gone away

[Chord diagramFF]They’re heading for the mountains
[Chord diagramC majorC]They’re heading for the trees
[Chord diagramG+G]They’re happy just to run around
[Chord diagramFF]And they’re happy to be free

[Chord diagramFF]Some are hailing taxis
[Chord diagramC majorC]Some are riding bikes
[Chord diagramG+G]Some are swimming rivers
[Chord diagramFF]Some are flying kites

[Chord diagramFF]Now they’re jumping
[Chord diagramC majorC]And swinging from the trees
[Chord diagramG+G]Rolling on the floor
[Chord diagramFF]And picking out the fleas

[Chord diagramC majorC]Because today [Chord diagramG+G]the monkeys have [Chord diagramFF]broken out the [Chord diagramC majorC]zoo (x8)
