I have nothin' at all.

 thinkin' of better things to do,

Like a monkey in a zoo.

I don't have no friends.

Like a monkey in a zoo.

          G, D, C
I'm so alone,
(C)             G,  D, C
But this is my home.
(C)      G         D            
And the bars that surround me 
             C
keep me from knowin' any better,
(C)      G    D    C
Like a monkey in a zoo.

            G,    D, C
Throw me a peanut.

Laugh and make jokes.
(C)       G             D       
But I've had enough of peanuts

and I'm ready to choke,

If you were in my shoes.


                G,  D, C

(C)         G,  D, C
But I want out.
(C)         G       D           
And when I cry out nobody seems 
    C
to understand,
(C)      G    D    C
Like a monkey in a zoo.

             G,  D, C
You say I'm cute.

You don't know how much that 
D, C

You don't know how it feels to live 
C
in your own dirt,
(C)      G    D    C
Like a monkey in a zoo.

G, G7

But I sold my freedom for free room 
C
and board,
(C)      G    D    C    G
Like a monkey in a zoo.
