There's A Zoo Not Far From You Video (MV)






Starshine Singers - There's A Zoo Not Far From You Lyrics




There's a zoo not far from you
That should open soon,
But the keeper who's in charge
Will not let us view.
Tell us why! Don't be shy!
We demand an explanation.
Tell us what! Spill the lot!
We are seething with frustration.
It's a joke. Us local folk
Just long for this zoo.

There's a hitch, a little glitch
I'm sorry to say.
All my creatures have strange features.
Please go away!
Come along, what is wrong?
We demand an explanation.
What a blow! You should know
We are seething with frustration.
It's no joke. I'm nearly broke
And filled with dismay.

Let us in now, 'cos we'd like to see
Lions and tigers, cheeky chimpanzees,
Penguins, cheetahs, bouncy kangaroos:
All the creatures in your zoo.

There's the sign: the bottom line
Says 'We're open soon'.
That's a lie you can't deny:
You wrote it last June.

Open up! Open up!
You could make some cash for wages!
Open up! Open up!
We've been queueing here for ages.
Go on mate, unlock the gate
And let us come in.
Go on mate, unlock the gate
And let us come in.
