Say hi to the zebra for me / Say hi to the zebra for me
If you're a Scorpio or a Libra
Say hi to the zebra
Say hi to the zebra for me
(what about an elephant?)

[Verse 2]
Say hi to the elephant for me
Say hi to the elephant for me
If you're important or irrelevant
Say hi to the elephant
Say hi to the elephant for me
(how about a rhinoceros?)

[Verse 3]
Say hi to the rhinoceros for me
Say hi to the rhinoceros for me
It might make you feel preposterous
To say hi to the rhinoceros
Say hi to the rhinoceros for me

[Chorus]
Say hello, if it's the only thing you do
Say hello, to all the animals at the zoo

Say hi to the hippopotamus for me
Say hi to the hippopotamus for me
It sure will take a lot of us
To say hi to the hippopotamus
Say hi to the hippopotamus for me
(what about a lion?)

[Verse 5]
Say hi to the lion for me
Say hi to the lion for me
Oh, just stop all your cryin'
And say hi to the lion
Say hi to the lion for me

[Chorus]
Say hello, if it's the only thing you do
Say hello, to all the animals at the zoo

[Verse 6]
Say hi to the flamingo for me
Say hi to the flamingo for me
If you love John, Paul, George and Ringo
Say hi to the flamingo
Say hi to the flamingo for me
