Going to the Zoo!

Going To The Zoo

Words and Music by Tom Paxton

Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow,
Zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow;
Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow,
We can stay all day.

[Chor]

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo;
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too.
We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo.

See the elephant with the long trunk swingin',

Great big ears and long trunk swingin',
Snuffin' up peanuts with the long trunk swingin';
We can stay all day.

[Cho:]

See all the monkeys scritch scritch scratchin',
Jumpin' all around and scritch scritch scratchin',
Hangin' by their long tails scritch scritch scratchin';
We can stay all day.

[Cho:]

Big black bear, all a huff huff a-puffin';
Coat's too heavy, he's huff huff a-puffin',
Don't get too near the huff huff a-puffin',
Or you won't stay all day.

[Cho:]

Seals in the pool all honk honk honkin',
Catchin' fish and honk honk honkin',
Little seals honk honk honkin'; (high pitched voice)

We can stay all day.

[Cho:]

(Slower tempo)
We stayed all day and we're gettin' sleepy,
Sittin' in the car gettin' sleep sleep sleepy,
Home already and we're sleep sleep sleepy,

We have stayed all day.

[Cho: (alternate)]
We've been to the zoo, zoo, zoo;
So have you, you, you.
You came too, too, too,
We're been to the zoo, zoo, zoo.

Momma's taking us to the zoo tomorrow,
Zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow;
Momma's taking us to the zoo tomorrow,

We can stay all day.

We really had a good time at the zoo last weekend. It was sort of a spur of the moment deal. And it was a nice day. Poor Lillybug, she totally has my skin. We kept slathering her with 50 spf sunscreen and she still got a little burnt. (this is her looking into the Giraffe cage)

We were also lucky to see the "Ghost of the Bayou". 1 of 10 Albino Crocadiles in the world. It was really neat to see that. Gracie kept saying it looked fake because it didn't move. Then it blinked and she got really excited, "Its ALIVE!!" We also got to get up close with a Baby Croc.

"CRIKEY!!"

Here is my tribute to Steve Erwin, the croc hunter. I love this!
