Lyric

doctor Cerletti and doctor Rothlin 
got a creature lab downstairs 
full of chirps and barks 
a sort of Noah's ark 
with every animal in pairs 

the hamster thinks he's sliding 
fish are swimming upside-down 
if we only knew 
what you are going through 
i should take your pulse right now 

the spider builds a better web 
and the cat's afraid of the mouse 
and the elephant, 
poor old Tusko's giant heart gave out 

in the future we will find out 
how we can help their human peers 
make the frigid tender 
or end a bender 
that lasted 20 years 

to feed the poor is easy 
like Mother Teresa said 
my dear old aunt 
or even Cary Grant 
could have a better life ahead 

the spider weaves a better web 
and the cat's afraid of the mouse 
and the elephant, 
poor old Tusko's giant heart gave out 

we don't have many talkers 
in our psychedelic zoo 
but the monkeys, 
the whole tribe is in a to-do 
'cause that one monkey 
don't do monkey say monkey do
