The elephants have broken free
They're down at the saloon
They're trunks are filled with whiskey
As they snort a merry tune
They're sitting on the bar stools
they're having quite a fete
Even when they blackout
You know they won't forget
Giraffes drink from the balcony,
it suits them mighty fine
They use their long prehensile tongues
for opening the wine
They sing and dance and laugh all night
as you can plainly see
When they order drinks they say,
'The highballs are one me!'
A pride of lions are in the back
at cards and drinking gin
The kitty's full of wildebeest,
some lucky cat will win.
The Alpha male is in the jon
and he's tidying his mane
When he gets to partying
he'll never be the same.
The hippos are inebriates
with lampshades on their heads
It's quite a feat to see them try
to stagger to their beds
Sometimes they never make it home
and they wake up on the floor
Hangover is why they make
that really nasty roar.
The chimpanzee's are swingers,
and they're always looking fine
Chatting up the other apes
and pinching their behinds
They swing from chandeliers you know,
just tossed as they can be
You might guess, they like to drink
banana daiquiri
The camels hang out at the bar
they're sipping heavy foam
Spitting on the sawdust floor
it makes them feel at home
They tip their glass till they can't walk
and barely even speak
And pour the keg into their humps
to get them through the week
The animals are behind the bars
they're there most every night
They're drinking and carousing
'Till they get nice and tight
And when they drink a bit too much
I've heard that it's been said,
The room starts spinning 'round
they see pink humans in their heads
The circus animals are fine
they're happy as can be
When left alone they tip one back
with the menagerie
Inside the beastly tavern,
and they're having a good time.
Drink to forget, the daytime crowd,
Performing for mankind
They're down at the saloon
They're trunks are filled with whiskey
As they snort a merry tune
They're sitting on the bar stools
they're having quite a fete
Even when they blackout
You know they won't forget
