2. See the elephant with the long trunk swingin’
   Great big ears and a long trunk swingin’
   Snuffin’ up the peanuts with a long trunk swingin’
   And we can stay all day

Refrain

3. See the monkeys, they’re scritch-scritch-scratchin,
   Junpin’ around and scritch-scritch-scratchin’
   Hangin’ by their long tails (scritch-scritch-scratchin’)
   And we can stay all day,

Refrain

4. There’s a big black bear, he’s a huff-huff-puffin’
   Coat’s too heavy, he’s a huff-huff-puffin’
   Don’t go too near the huff-huff-puffin’
   Or you won’t stay all day

Refrain

5. Well the seals in the pool all honk, honk, honkin’
   Catchin’ the fish and honk, honk, honkin’
   Little tiny seals all honk, honk, honkin’
   And we can stay all day

Refrain

6. Well we stayed all day and I’m getting’ sleepy
   Sittin’ in the car getting’ sleep sleep sleepy,
   Home already and I’m sleep sleep sleepy
   And we have stayed all day

Break
   We’ve been to the zoo, zoo, zoo,
   How about you, you, you?
   You came too, too, too,
   We’ve been to the zoo, zoo, zoo.

7. Mommy’s taking us to the zoo tomorrow
   Zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow
   Mommy’s taking us to the zoo tomorrow
   And we can stay all day,

Refrain
