The Halliard
Текст песни The Zoological Gardens

Well I went there on my honeymoon,
I saw the lion and the old baboon
And we strayed for a while neath the silvery moon
Up in the zoological gardens.

Thunder and lightning it's no lark
When Dublin City is in the dark.
Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park
And view the zoological gardens.

She said to me, now me dear fried Jack,
I'd like a ride on the elephants back.
If you don't get out you'll get such a crack
Up in the zoological gardens.

Thunder and lightning it's no lark
When Dublin City is in the dark.
Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park
And view the zoological gardens.

She said to me to give you your due
There's nothing jumps as well as you
Not even the toad or the kangaroo
Inside the zoological gardens

Thunder and lightning it's no lark
When Dublin City is in the dark.
Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park
And view the zoological gardens.

I said to her oh don't be so daft
She said to me now you musn't laugh,
But yer lovely and long like the spotted giraffe
Inside the zoological gardens.

Thunder and lightning it's no lark
When Dublin City is in the dark.
Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park
And view the zoological gardens.

We left via the gate by Castleknock
She said we could snog down by the lock
And I knew she was one of the rare old stock
Beside the zoological gardens

Thunder and lightning it's no lark
When Dublin City is in the dark.
Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park
And view the zoological gardens.

Well I went there on my honeymoon,
I saw the lion and the old baboon
And we strayed for a while neath the silvery moon
Up in the zoological gardens.

Thunder and lightning it's no lark
When Dublin City is in the dark.
Would you care for to go to the Pheonix Park
And view the zoological gardens.
