Belle and Sebastian

^{C G F C C G F C
Am} Down at the zoo, ^G there isn't any noise
^Em It's much too early, ^G for girls and boys
^Am The monkeys have a plan, ^G but you mustn't say a word
^Em They're going to do it quietly, ^G so they can't be heard
^F They're sawing through the bars
^C They're climbing out the cage
^G They're tiptoeing past the zoo keeper
^F They're running out the gates
^C Because today ^G the monkeys are ^F breaking out the ^C zoo (x2)
^Am The zoo keeper's sleeping, ^G he hasn't heard a thing
^Em All of the monkeys, ^G escaping
^Am When he wakes up, ^G he's going to get a shock
^Em He's lost all the monkeys, ^G and they won't come back
^F They're skipping down the street
^C They're beating on their chests
^G They're laughing and screeching
^F And scratching their heads
^C Because today ^G the monkeys are ^F breaking out the ^C zoo (x4)
^Am If you plan to go, ^G to the zoo today
^Em You won't see monkeys, ^G cuz they've gone away
^F They're heading for the mountains
^C They're heading for the trees
^G They're happy just to run around
^F And they're happy to be free
^F Some are hailing taxis
^C Some are riding bikes
^G Some are swimming rivers
^F Some are flying kites
^F Now they're jumping
^C And swinging from the trees
^G Rolling on the floor
^F And picking out the fleas
^C Because today ^G the monkeys have ^F broken out the ^C zoo (x8)
