Lyrics :
Someone told me
It's all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it,
I do believe it's true.
It's a light and tumble journey
>From the East Side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.
But you can take the crosstown bus
If it's raining or it's cold,
And the animals will love it
If you do.
Somethin' tells me
It's all happening at the zoo.
The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
They're dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.
Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy,
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! You gotta come and see
At the zoo.

version 3
Amaj7 = x02224 G = 320033 Em = 022000 A6 = x02222
A7 = x02223 G * = 3xxxxx Em * = 0xxxxx Em7 = 022030
D7 = xx0212 D/F# = 2xxxxx D = xx0232
The D/F# is suggested by the passing F# bass note,
but is not played as a full chord.
On some live performances Paul Simon played this song
a tone higher, with a capo at the 2nd fret
