Lyrics

I don't know what it is about my figure and my style,
But when I walk abroad, the passers by do smile
I lost myself in Kensington, about a week today
I asked a cabman my way home
And to me he did say

That's the way to the zoo
That's the way to the zoo
The monkey house is nearly full
But there's room enough for you
Take a bus to Regent's Park
Make haste before it shuts
Next Sunday I shall come and give you such a lot of nuts

That's the way to the zoo
That's the way to the zoo
The monkey house is nearly full
But there's room enough for you
Take a bus to Regent's Park
Make haste before it shuts
Next Sunday I shall come and give you such a lot of nuts
