Will Oldham – What's Wrong With A Zoo lyrics

what's wrong with a zoo
what's wrong with a zoo (2x)

i asked them in
invited them in
oh cordially

sat each one down
down on the couch
so I could see

what's wrong with a zoo
what's wrong with a zoo (2x)

show me some skin
kiss on my chin
and kiss my mouth

i learned the way
to love you today
was to have you down

monkey was maimed
black and white aim
a chimp no more

monkey's last act
had been to attack
a child of four

what's wrong with a zoo
what's wrong with a zoo (2x)

so i pile misdeed
upon misdeed
throw in some love
where i see need of love

an eloquent way
to bring an end
is exit the bay
in graceful swim

a box folds in half
and brings on a laugh
from everyone

who needs to sleep
when sleeping just keeps
our life undone

what's wrong with a zoo
what's wrong with a zoo (2x)
