From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zoo_%28Scorpions_song%29:
"The Zoo" is a song by the German
heavy metal band
Scorpions, written by band members
Rudolf Schenker (guitar) and
Klaus Meine (vocals). It first appeared on the band's
1980 album
Animal Magnetism.The song has been featured on a few of
Scorpions "Best-Of" compilations, including
Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years,
Bad for Good: The Very Best of Scorpions, the box set
Box of Scorpions and a re-recorded version for the
Comeblack album. The song was released as a single in 1980 but
had limited chart success, peaking at #75 in the UK. Although the song performed poorly on the charts, it is a critically acclaimed heavy metal song. One critic notes "The Zoo" is both "ominously slow and melodically accessible," with a key element being the "Berlin burlesque vocal melody."[1] Schenker wrote much of the song's music during the band's first tour of the United States in 1979. When Meine first heard Schenker's riff, it reminded him of the band's earlier visit to a street in New York City, which was humorously called a "zoo."[1] Meine later composed the song's lyrics, which contain references to city streets - most notably, New York's 42nd Street. |

The
job is done, I go out
Another boring day
I leave it all behind me now
So many worlds away
I meet my girl, she's dressed to kill
And all we're going to do
Is walk around to catch the thrill
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
Enjoy the zoo
And walk down 42nd Street
You want to be excited too
And you will feel the heat
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
