[Chorus]
Ah, thunder and lightning, it's no lark,
When Dublin city is in the dark,
Would you care to come to the Phoenix Park?
And view the Zoological Gardens.

[Verse]
Last Sunday night we had no dough,
So I took them out up to see the a-zoo,
We saw the lions and the kangaroo,
Inside the Zoological Gardens.

[Chorus]
Ah, thunder and lightning, it's no lark,
When Dublin city is in the dark,
Would you care to come to the Phoenix Park?
And view the Zoological Gardens.

[Verse]
Well we went out there by Castleknock,
Says the mut to me:, "Sure, we'll court on the lock",
And I knew she was one of the quare old stock,
Inside the Zoological Gardens.

[Chorus]
Ah, thunder and lightning, it's no lark,
When Dublin city is in the dark,
Would you care to come to the Phoenix Park?
And view the Zoological Gardens.

[Verse]
Well the mut to me, "My dear friend Jack,
Would you like a ride on the elephant's back?
If you don't go with that I'll give you such a craic,
Inside the Zoological Gardens."

[Chorus]
Ah, thunder and lightning, it's no lark,
When Dublin city is in the dark,
Would you care to come to the Phoenix Park?
And view the Zoological Gardens.

[Verse]
Well we went out there on our honeymoon,
Says the mut to me, "If you don't come soon,
I'll have to sleep in with the hairy baboon,
Inside the Zoological Gardens."

[Chorus]
Ah, thunder and lightning, it's no lark,
When Dublin city is in the dark,
Would you care to come to the Phoenix Park?
And view the Zoological Gardens.
