Anyone have the lyrics to Zoo Blues by Robin Williamson? I beleive it was on the album "American Stonehenge" and starts: "Camels in the zoo singin' one hump or two but i cant bear to see them no cow. I feel the loss a lot I miss you an ocelot I wonder who's kitten you now..."

Zoo Blues
by Robin Williamson, Sylvia Woods,
Christopher Caswell and Jerry McMillan

I asped the elephant in the elevator
Where you had gone, he said you were boozing round with the bees
When I had the bucks my dear, you were so fawn
Now my doe is gone and you're so colt to me
Camels in the zoo singing one hump or two
But I can't bear to see them no cow
I feel the loss a lot, I miss you an ocelot
I wonder who's kitten you now
My llama mama what's gnu with you
With your cat's pyjamas and his cockatoo
You sealed your fate with him

Chorus:
Gorilla my dreams
you're a cheetah is seems
fly are you lion to me
you otter be sad losing me
(for goodness snakes)

I toad you donkey me waitin', why you hesitatin'
I'll pig you up at ape, iguana bison rings and meat you at your front boar
You mustang gone in his big black carp when he gibbon you that new mink cape

There's no depenguin on you that's for sure (sheep skate)
You played me for a sucker, at leech they said,
I was sow gull-a-bull
Ain't no mousetake you snake I'll make you regret you treated me so cruel
Gonna grab my cat, gonna grab my goat
Gonna ram you worms right down your throat
I kangaroo in this sad stoat, you sealed your fate with him.

Zoo Blues has been a favorite jug band tune of mine for a long time but very few people are aware of it. It should be spread around and added to people's jug and novelty jazz repertoires.

I've hooked up my old turntable to the stereo again, and was able to transfer the song to mp3. Robin Williamson was one of the founders of the Incredible String Band. Zoo Blues is an original jug band tune of his from a 1977 record, American Stonehenge. If you like puns and plays on words this song is for you.

Click on the file name: DOWNLOAD AND SAVE THE FILE (you may have to right click and choose save target to do this). Then open it from your hard disk with media player or something similar.

I've also posted "Shorty's Got To Go" recorded by Bill Johnson and his Musical Notes on the site. Lucky Milender wrote it, and the Cats and The Fiddle also recorded it. The Cats and the Fiddle version adds an extra verse. If anyone knows the chords for this song I would really appreciate getting them.
