Knocking `Round the Zoo — текст песни (James Taylor)

Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon
There`s bars on all the windows and they`re counting up the spoons
And if I`m feeling edgy there`s a chick who`s paid to be my slave
But she`ll hit me with a needle if she thinks I`m trying to misbehave

Now the keeper`s trying to cool me says I`m bound to be alright
But I know that he can`t fool me `cause I`m putting him uptight
And I can feel him getting edgy every time I make a sudden move
And I can hear them celebrating every time I up and leave the room

Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare
Said he`s just like the rest of us so what`s he doing in there
They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight
`Cause they`re certain about one thing that zoo`s no place to spend the
night

Just knocking around the zoo on a Thursday afternoon
There`s bars on all the windows and they`re counting up the spoons
And if I`m feeling edgy there`s a chick who`s paid to be my slave
But she`ll hit me with a needle if she thinks I`m trying to misbehave
