Dubliners - Zoological Gardens lyrics

Oh thunder and lightning is no lark When Dublin city is in the dark So if you've any money go up to the park And view the zoological gardens We went out there to see the zoo We saw the lion and the kangaroo There was he-males and she-males of every hue Up in the zoological gardens We went out there by Castleknock Says she to me "Sure we'll court on the lock" Then I knew she was one of the rare old stock From outside the zoological gardens Oh, thunder and lightning is no lark When Dublin city is in the dark So if you've any money go up to the park And view the zoological gardens We went out there on our honeymoon Says she to me "If you don't come soon I'll have to get in with the hairy baboons" Up in the zoological garden Says she to me "It's seven o'clock And it's time for me to be changin' me frock For I long to see the old co*katoo" Up in the zoological garden Says she to me "Me lovely Jack Sure I'd love a ride on the elephant's back If you don't get out that I'll give you such a smack Up in the zoological garden Well, thunder and lightning is no lark When Dublin city is in the dark So if you've any money go up to the park And view the zoological gardens
