Lyrics
We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo. You can come too, too, too. Bring a friend along with you. We're going to the zoo. At the panda, we'll say hey. Watching Mr. Rhino while he spends his day. Staring in awe at the animals. We'll praise the one who made and shaped them all. La la la la la la la la. Subhanallah. La la la la la la la la. Subhanallah. Silly monkey's winking in the tree. Mr. Rabbit's tall ears looking at me. The lucky duck splashing so high. Dancing horses kicking to the sky. The mighty lion roars, I'm ready to fight. Mama tiger showing off her stripes. Young sneaky fox, what he'd love to do is hop along and sing in with the kangaroos. We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo. You can come too, too, too. Bring a friend along with you. We're going to the zoo. Along with koala and polar bear. Pretty parrots singing while they're flying through the air. Sealing crocodile, oh, they're having a ball. We'll praise the one who made and shaped them all. La la la la la la la la. Subhanallah. La la la la la la la. Subhanallah. La la la la la la la. Subhanallah. Subhanallah. Subhanallah. Subhanallah.
