Zoological Gardens (1993 Digital Remaster) - The Dubliners

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

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 cockatoo

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

Up in the zoological garden
