The 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 up there to see the zoo
We saw the lion and the kangaroo
There was females and shemales of every hue
Up in the zoological gardens

We went out there by Castleknock
Says she to me, she will court on the lock
And I knew she was one of the rare oul' 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 up there on our honeymoon
Says she to me, if you don't come soon
I'll have to get in with the hairy baboon
Up in the zoological gardens

Says she to me, it′s seven o′clock
And it's time for me to be changing me frock
For I′d love to see that oul' cockatoo
Up in the zoological gardens

Says she to me, me lovely Jack
Sure I′d love a ride on the elephant's back
If you don′t get out of that, I'll give you such a smack
Up in 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
