Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your favorite type
And you want her tonight

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos
Elephants and tacky tigers

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me that's gonna leave

Flying, domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near
Do not show any fear

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You are a khaki-colored bombardier
It's Hiroshima that you're nearing

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me that's gonna leave

Daily, except for Sunday
You dawdle in to the cafe
Where you meet her each day

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you
They need their protein just like you do

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me that's gonna leave

Shower, another shower
You've got to look your best for her
And be clean everywhere

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town
The bullets cannot cut you down

This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me that's gonna leave

Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town
Though not enough to go 'round

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You know that this town isn't big enough
Not big enough for the both of us

This town isn't big enough
Not big enough for the both of us
And I ain't gonna leave
