The Zookeeper's Boy Lyrics & Chords By Mew

Are you my lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
Are you my lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
Are you my lady, are you?

If I don't make it back from the city
Then it is only because I am drawn away.
For you see
Evidently, there's a dark storm coming
And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse

So are you my lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
Are you my lady, are you?
Are you my lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
Are you my lady, are you?

The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain
You're tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there's a glitch
You're an ostrich
You've got your head in the sand

In a submersible I can hardly breathe
As it takes me inside, so the light sings
Answer me truthfully
Do the clouds kiss you?
With meringue-coloured hair
I know they cannot

So are you my lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
Are you my lady, are you?
Are you my lady, are you?
My lady, are you?

Santa Ana winds bring seasickness
Zookeeper hear me out
How dare you go?
Cold in the rain

Tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there's a glitch
You're an ostrich
You've got your head in the sand

Are you my lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down (My lady, are you?)
The cars remain (My lady, are you?)
I could not be seen with you (My lady, are you?)
Working half the time and looking fine (My lady, are you?)
In cars re-made (My lady, are you?)
My lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
My lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down (My lady, are you?)
The cars remain (My lady, are you?)
I could not be seen with you (My lady, are you?)
Working half the time and looking fine (My lady, are you?)
In cars re-made
