Woke up half past ten,
I wanted to stay in bed again
The coffee *** was too hot,
Didn't even get to drink a drop
Slavin' hard eight days a week,
Just to barely make ends meat
Then I get my check on Friday,
Taxes took half my pay away
Overslept,
I'm so tired
If I'm late,
I'll get fired
Why bother
Why the pain
Just to go home
And do it again
But what can you do,
That's life in the Brooklyn Zoo

Woke up half past ten,
I wanted to stay in bed again
The coffee *** was too hot,
Didn't even get to drink a drop
Slavin' hard eight days a week,
Just to barely make ends meat
Then I get my check on Friday,
Taxes took half my pay away
Overslept,
I'm so tired
If I'm late,
I'll get fired
Why bother
Why the pain
Just to go home
And do it again
But what can you do,
That's life in the Brooklyn Zoo
