Irish Song Lyrics

Zoological Gardens, The Traditional 
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 out there to see the zoo We saw the lion and the kangaroo There was he-males and she-males of every hue Up in the Zoological Gardens 
We went out there by Castleknock Says she to me "Sure, we'll court on the Lough" Then I knew she was one of the rare old stock From outside 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 time for me to be changin' me frock For I long to see the old 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 crack" 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
