THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "The Zoo Blues"

(Music by Djavan; Lyrics by Doug Figer)
I'll turn you on
I'll turn you on

To turn you on with
To turn you on quick


Tell me, what, what's the trip
To turn you on quick
Tell me, what, what's the trip

To turn you on with
Tell me, what, what's the trip
To turn you on quick


I'm a rational fella
But I think I've gone nuts

Just wanna be, wanna be
Left alone and unwound
Now the video sellers

With their ifs ands or buts
They follow me, how do we
Turn this travesty down?


It's as fast as a rocket ship
Strange as a zoo

See the common man dare
(Dare for the man) If you care to
Come on down to your local store now

Can't you hear the voices
Buy one, buy two
More fun for you

A hundred and one choices

Kooky abstract dada

Like they sell at alpha beta
I wish I had a set of
Orangutan babies

A barkin' the blues
The quack quack wa-wa
Of the latter salad days are

Media, media
There's some that say TV
Invented the blues


Kooky abstract dada
Like they sell at alpha beta

I wish I had a set of
Orangutan babies
A barkin' the blues


It's political power
And the jungle book rules

They wanna be, gotta be
Messin' round with my calm
In the critical hour

It's the junk or the jewels
They're fakin' it, makin' it
Seem so utterly cool


It's as fast as a rocket ship
Strange as a zoo

See the common man dare
If you care to (dare for the man if you care to)
Come on down to your local store now

Can't you hear the voices
Buy one, buy two
More fun for you

A hundred and one choices just for you

Kooky abstract dada

Like they sell at alpha beta
I wish I had a set of
Orangutan babies

A barkin' the blues
The quack quack wa-wa
Of the latter salad days are

Media, media
There's some that say TV
Invented the blues

[Repeat over and over]
