The Rock 'n' Roll Zoo

lyrics

The Rock ’n’ Roll Zoo
Don’t know whose idea it was
To start a band
Someone had a vision
Hearing Sergeant Pepper and smoking reefer
And it all came together in a glorious whole
A gig or two and a fast talking manager
And we were kings of the neighbourhood
For a week or two
Till the shine wore off
And we carved up a cake of fictitious earnings
In the rock ‘n’ roll zoo
You can be a big shot too
Play hide and seek with the
Snow tiger and the silver fox
Catch bear diseases from Goldilocks
It’s all about percentages
And that special thing you do
Meet the freaky baboons
In the rock ‘n’ roll zoo
And we had people
To take care of things
Candy and Brandy
And Cindy and James
They were a team
You didn’t need
Until you had them around
Like a human shield
From the real world
You could kid yourself you were celebrity
From the attention you received
Till the bubble burst
And you were paying back
The borrowed glory
In the rock ‘n’ roll zoo
You can be a big shot too
Talk about hook lines
And sinking sales
Reminisce about the good old days
It’s all about your image
And that special thing you do
Be freaky baboon
In the rock ‘n’ roll zoo
