The Dubliners

The Dubliners - Zoological gardens songtekst

Je score:

Oh, thunder and lightning is no lark
When Dublin city is in the dark
So if you've any money go up to the park
And view the zoological garden

We went out there to see the-a zoo
We saw the lion and the kangaroo
There was he-males and she-males of every hue
Up in the zoological garden

We went out there by Caslteknock
Says she to me "Sure we'll court on the lock"
Then I knew she was one of the rare old stock
Outside the zoological garden

We went out there on our honeymoon
Says she to me "If you don't come soon
I'll have to get in with the hairy buffoon"
Up in the zoological garden

Says she to me "It's seven o'clock
And time for me to be changin' me frock
For I long to see the old cockatoo"
Up in the zoological garden

Says she to me "Me lovely Jack
Sure I love a ride on the elephant's back
If you don't get out that I'll give you such a crack
Up in the zoological garden

Oh, thunder and lightning is no lark
And Dublin city is in the dark
So if you've any money go up to the park
And view the zoological gardens
