MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "The Zoo Blues"

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)
