E7
Just a-knockin around that zoo, on a Thursday afternoon
Theres bars on all the windows, and theyre countin up the spoons, babe
A7
And if Im feelin edgy
E7
Theres a chick whos paid to be my slave, yeah, watch out James
B7(#9) A7 E7 (B7#9)
But shell hit me with a needle if she thinks Im tryin to misbehave, yeah
Now the keepers tryin to cool me, says Im bound to be alright
But I know that he cant fool me, cause Im puttin him up tight, yeah
And I can feel him gettin edgy
Every time I make a sudden move, oh whoa, yes its true
And I can hear him celebratin every time I up and leave the room

Now my friends all come to see me, they point at me and stare
Say hes just like the rest of us, so whats he doin there?
Now they hide in their movies, girl
Pick and choose, sleep in tight, whats the bright light shinnin
And Im certain bout one thing, babe that zoos no place to spend the night, no
Just a-knockin around that zoo, on a Thursday afternoon
Theres bars on all the windows, and theyre countin up the spoons, babe
And if Im feelin edgy
Theres a chick whos paid to be my slave, yeah, watch out Kootch
But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks I'm tryin to misbehave, yeah
End on B7(#9)
