The Lyrics
You got the smell o’ zoo,
And it ain’t fine.
It’s combination hog and loo.
Has folks lyin’
Prostrate and cryin’.
You know, they can’t stand it—
It’s knockin’ ’em down,
So they have to jam it,
A clothespin on the nose—then hit the ground.
You got the smell o’ zoo;
Everyone minds,
They mind.
Smell o’ zoo
Is on you.
You hear “Euw!”
And “P-U!” Also, “Cow-
pies—give me air!
This is killing me.
I’m leaving now!”
They clear out.
You gotta quell that zoo
Smell for all time!
And it ain’t fine.
It’s combination hog and loo.
Has folks lyin’
Prostrate and cryin’.
You know, they can’t stand it—
It’s knockin’ ’em down,
So they have to jam it,
A clothespin on the nose—then hit the ground.
You got the smell o’ zoo;
Everyone minds,
They mind.
Smell o’ zoo
Is on you.
You hear “Euw!”
And “P-U!” Also, “Cow-
pies—give me air!
This is killing me.
I’m leaving now!”
They clear out.
You gotta quell that zoo
Smell for all time!

Got me laughing at this one - reminds me of someone I knew. Whenever we were going out in a car we would tell him it's full because no one wanted to be in a confined space with him
PirateJack, you Sir Sweaty, should not be so critical of this poor Lady !
