The Zookeeper's Boy lyrics

Are you my lady, are you?

Are you my lady, are you?

If I don't make it back from the city

Then it is only because I am drawn away

For you see, evidently there's a dark storm coming

And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse

So are you my lady, are you?

So are you my lady, are you?

The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down

The cars remain

You're tall just like a giraffe

You have to climb to find its head

But if there's a glitch

You're an ostrich

You've got your head in the sand

In a submersible I can hardly breathe

As it takes me inside, so the light sings

Answer me truthfully, do the clouds kiss you?

With meringue-coloured hair, I know they cannot

So are you my lady, are you?

So are you my lady, are you?

The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down

The cars remain

Santa Ana winds bring seasickness

Zookeeper hear me out

How dare you go?

Cold in the rain

Tall just like a giraffe

You have to climb to find its head

But if there's a glitch

You're an ostrich

You've got your head in the sand

Are you my lady, are you?

Are you my lady, are you?

The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down

The cars remain

I could not be seen with you

Working half the time and looking fine

In cars re-made
