Takin' Retards To The Zoo (Live) Lyrics
The Dead Milkmen
Lyrics
It's a boring day - I've got nothing to do
Except to get a load of retards and drive em to the zoo
Oh oh oh takin' retards to the zoo (x2)
Load 'em on a bus just for laughs
Down a winding road stepping on the gas
Down a winding road just to stay dreaming
Down a winding road with the retards screaming
Oh oh oh takin' retards to the zoo (x2)
One of them blowing a big spit bubble
Slam on the brakes at the first sign of trouble
Head on collision bodies everywhere
Head on collision retards beware
Oh oh oh takin' retards to the zoo (x2)
