All down the street they're standin in line

with white lipstick and one thing on their mind

hey little freak with the lunch pail purse

underneath the paint you're just a little girl



Dancin at the zombie zoo, dancin at the zombie zoo

Painted in a corner and all you wanna do

Is dance down at the zombie zoo



Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod?

Is your mother in a clinic? Has your father got no job?

Sometimes you're so impulsive you shaved off all your hair

you look like Boris Karloff and you don't even care

You're dancin at the zombie zoo dancin at the zombie zoo



She disappears at sunrise, I wonder where she goes until

The night comes fallin down again she shows

up with her friends half-alive



You can make a big impression or go through life unseen

You might wind up restricted and over seventeen

It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be led

Somewhere beyond the pavement you'll find the living dead
