Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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
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 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
