Song Lyrics

I went on up to the Audubon Zoo
And they only asked for you
They all asked for you
Well, even inquired about you

I went on up to the Audu'mon Zoo
And they all asked for you
The monkey's asked
The tiger's asked
And the elephant asked f'you, too

Bom-bom-bom, bom-bom
Ba-de-ba, da-bom-bom
Bom-bom
Ba-de-da-bom-bom-bom

Bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-ba-de-ba, bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom
Ba-de-ba-dom-bom-bom

I went on down
To the deep blue sea
And they only asked for you
I say, they all asked for you
Well, even inquired about ya

I went on down
To the deep blue sea
And they all asked for you
The dolphins asked
The whales asked
And the shark asked for you, too

Bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-ba-de-ba, bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom
Ba-de-da-bom-bom-bom

'Red beans'

'Pig lips'

Bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-ba-de-ba, bom-bom-bom

Ba-de-ba-dom-bom-bom

They all asked for you
'Yo mama'

'Yo brother'
Everybody there

Wanna know where

They all asked for you

'You know what?'
They all asked for you
'Yo gramma'
They all asked for you
'Yo grampa'
Everybody there

Wanna know where

They all asked for you
'Yo neighbor'

They all asked for you

They all asked for you
'The teacher ask for you'
Everybody there

They all asked for you

Wanna know where
They all asked for you

'Come on home!'
