Zoooooooooo traaaaaaaaaain! (elephant sounds)
Zoo train! Taking the toddlers through the fun terrain.
How they hope it'll never stop
Hippetty-hop, hippetty-hop, hippetty, hippetty,
Hippetty, hippetty, hippetty-hopping along!

They see tigers from the Congo and some zebras from Zimbabwe,
A kangaroo Down Under and hyenas from Malawi,
A herd of vicuñas and a pretty buffalo.
Move along cars, move along.

Zoooooooooo traaaaaaaaaain! (elephant sounds)
Zoo train! Seeing animals in their habitats.
Major cool! Have a look at that!
Hippetty-hop, hippetty-hop, hippetty, hippetty,
Hippetty, hippetty, hippetty-hopping along!

There's some felines there and many antelopes from way out yonder,
A hippo and some penguins who strike the kids with wonder.
The paster-colored cars start to climb some little hills.
Can they make it? Move along.

Zoooooooooo traaaaaaaaaain! (elephant sounds)
Zoo train! Taking the toddlers through the fun terrain.
How they hope the ride'll never end!
Hippetty-hop, hippetty-hop, hippetty, hippetty,
Hippetty, hippetty, hippetty-hopping along!

There's a cage that's full of primates and birds from near the border,
It's trying for the parents just to keep the kids in order.
Some candy at the end from the genial conductor!
Get along kids, get along!

We had fun, kids, move along. (Zoo train!)
Move along, move along.
