[Intro] [overdriven electric guitar riff, drum fill] One, two, three, four! [Chorus] [full band enters] Who let the animals in? Hell yeah! [Verse 1] [bass and drums continue, palm-muted guitar] Why is there a fish in the speaker? Feels fishy, man, cod, pike The smell is getting stronger Someone tell it, take a hike There's water running down the wall Something swimming through the hall I hear a splash behind the drum Oh shit, here the otters come The bass goes boom, the lights go black Something furry's on my back Get it off! [Chorus] [layered vocal harmonies] Base goes boom (boing, boing) Ears ring out like crazy Even the squirrel looks hazy Jumps to the beat, doin', doin', doin' The monkey steals the microphone The parrot screams into the phone A zebra's dancing on the bar Who the hell let the mink in the car? [Verse 2] Moose in the kitchen, what does the fox say? Badger smokes up the place, smokin' that, that's not hay Rock and roll is in the air, there's feathers flying everywhere Badger on the turntable, duck is dancing on the table What the actual fuck? Let's go! [Chorus] Hey, hey, rock the zoo! Hey, hey, what you gonna do? Bear walks in and takes a chair Nobody asked him why he's there Gorilla grabs the bass guitar Now he's playing like a superstar The penguins wearing shades at night (uh-huh) The flamingo thinks he's dynamite (uh-huh) A goat just ate the speaker wire Now the whole damn room is on fire! [Bridge] [music stops briefly] Was that supposed to happen? [explosion sound] Boom! [Verse 3] [driving rhythm resumes] Lion's roaring through the PA Tiger's got a backstage pass Elephant is stomping time Rhino says the beat is fine The owl's got a laser light The bat is working security tonight Crocodile is at the door Taking tickets, one and more The floor shakes, the ceiling bends Nobody knows where this night ends But we don't care! [Chorus] Moose in the kitchen, what does the fox say? Badger smokes up the place, smokin' that, that's not hay Rock and roll is in the air, there's feathers flying everywhere Badger on the turntable, duck is dancing on the table What the actual fuck? Let's go! Hey, hey, rock the zoo! Hey, hey, rock the zoo! Hey, hey, rock the zoo! [Outro] [guitar solo] Fish is swimming in the light Squirrel starting up a fight Fox is howling at the moon Moose is playing something out of tune Panda's hanging from the rig Monkey's doing something big Nobody remembers who invited who But everybody knows what we're gonna do Turn it up! Turn it up! Turn it up! One more? Yeah! Moose in the kitchen, what does the fox say? Badger smokes up the place, smokin' that, that's not hay Rock and roll is in the air, there's feathers flying everywhere Badger on the turntable, duck is dancing on the table What the actual fuck? Let's go! Moose in the kitchen, what does the fox say? Badger runs the place, duck is spinning all the way What the actual fuck? Let's go! [music swells] The sun comes up, the zoo survives Somehow we're all still alive [music slows, acoustic guitar and piano] The fish is gone, the bear has left The monkey stole my damn cassette Same time tomorrow? [final piano chord]
