[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)
