[Lyric] The Chimpanzoo Demo (Richard M. Sherman)

In Timbuktu, there's a Chimpanzoo
That's run by a Chimpanzee
It's an oddish place where the human race
Is under lock and key
And on their backs, they wear small plaques
For the animals to view
Which specify the reasons why
They're locked in the Chimpanzoo

If you're boisterous and bumptious
You're grist for the Chimpanzoo
If you're overly rambunctious
You're whisked to Timbuktu
Laughs! Laughs! Nothing but laughs!
But you know who's laughing at who?
It's the animals there who giggle and stare
At you at the Chimpanzoo

You might never play the music halls
In all your wildest dreams
But billow and blast in the Chimpanzoo
And thе animals burst their seams
It takes a lot of talеnt and time
To become a West End attraction
But in this place, one rude grimace
Gets a marvelous reaction
Laughs, laughs, nothing but laughs
But you know who's laughing at who?
It's the animals there who giggle and stare
At you in the Chimpanzoo
