Song: Knocking ’round The Zoo

.... James Taylor's Rockin' Round the Zoo is about his stay at McLean's Hospital.

Just knocking around the zoo on a thursday afternoon
Theres bars on all the windows and theyre counting up the spoons
And if Im feeling edgy theres a chick whos paid to be my slave
But shell hit me with a needle if she thinks Im trying to misbehave

Now the keepers trying to cool me says Im bound to be alright
But I know that he cant fool me cause Im putting him uptight
And I can feel him getting edgy every time I make a sudden move
And I can hear them celebrating every time I up and leave the room

Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare
Said hes just like the rest of us so whats he doing in there
They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight
cause theyre certain about one thing that zoos no place to spend the
Night

Just knocking around the zoo on a thursday afternoon
Theres bars on all the windows and theyre counting up the spoons
And if Im feeling edgy theres a chick whos paid to be my slave
But shell hit me with a needle if she thinks Im trying to misbehave
