^AmDown at the zoo, ^Gthere isn't any noise ^EmIt's much too early, ^Gfor girls and boys ^AmThe monkeys have a plan, ^Gbut you mustn't say a word ^EmThey're going to do it quietly, ^Gso they can't be heard

^FThey're sawing through the bars ^CThey're climbing out the cage ^GThey're tiptoeing past the zoo keeper ^FThey're running out the gates

^CBecause today ^Gthe monkeys are ^Fbreaking out the ^Czoo (x2) ^AmThe zoo keeper's sleeping, ^Ghe hasn't heard a thing ^EmAll of the monkeys, ^Gescaping ^AmWhen he wakes up, ^Ghe's going to get a shock ^EmHe's lost all the monkeys, ^Gand they won't come back

^FThey're skipping down the street ^CThey're beating on their chests ^GThey're laughing and screeching ^FAnd scratching their heads

^CBecause today ^Gthe monkeys are ^Fbreaking out the ^Czoo (x4) ^AmIf you plan to go, ^Gto the zoo today ^EmYou won't see monkeys, ^Gcuz they've gone away

^FThey're heading for the mountains ^CThey're heading for the trees ^GThey're happy just to run around ^FAnd they're happy to be free

^FSome are hailing taxis ^CSome are riding bikes ^GSome are swimming rivers ^FSome are flying kites

^FNow they're jumping ^CAnd swinging from the trees ^GRolling on the floor ^FAnd picking out the fleas

^CBecause today ^Gthe monkeys have ^Fbroken out the ^Czoo (x8)
