I was supposed to be short but sweet
But look at me, I'm tall, and nasty
I think I'll go out and eat
A passing stranger, and lastly for dessert
I think I'll come back and hurt you
In the worst way that I know how
This irrational animal passion I have for you
Is the thing, that is bringing-ing, bringing me down
My mother says you're no good for me
My brother says you're no good for me
My sister, my father and the whole family tree, agree
But when you take off your shirt I can smell it
A mile away on the wind
And I just wanna hit the dirt and go to hell
And tear you limb from limb
I guess it's feeding time at the zoo
Shut up and eat, shut up and eat your food
I rough you up and you cry for more
I show you the door and you lie on the floor
Have you no shame or have I no pride anymore
Well it's a square deal and a square meal
And you shouldn't bite the hand
I hear folks pay good money to eat
Rattlesnake meat from a can.
I guess it's feeding time at the zoo
Ah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Shut up and eat, shut up and eat your food
