All down the street they're standing in line
With white lipstick and one thing on their mind
Hey, little freak with the lunch pail purse
Underneath the paint you're just a little girl

Dancing at the Zombie Zoo, dancing at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo

Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod?
Is your mother in a clinic? Has your father got no job?
Sometimes you're so impulsive, you shaved off all your hair
You look like Boris Karloff and you don't even care

Dancing at the Zombie Zoo, dancing at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo

She disappears at sunrise, I wonder where she goes until the night Comes falling down again, you show up with your friends half-alive
Dancing at the Zombie Zoo, dancing at the Zombie Zoo

Well, you can make a big impression or go through life unseen
You might wind up restricted and over seventeen
It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be led
Somewhere behind the pavement you'll find the living dead

Dancing at the Zombie Zoo, dancing at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo

She disappears at sunrise, I don't know where she goes until the night 
Comes falling down again, she shows up with her friends half-alive

Dancing at the Zombie Zoo, dancing at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo
Yah, dance down at the Zombie Zoo
Yah, dance down at the Zombie Zoo
