The Chimpanzoo" is a deleted song from the movie Mary Poppins.
This had been a scene where Mary Poppins sang a song to the Banks children while at Uncle Albert's floating tea party, which lead to a live-action/cartoon fantasy sequence where humans are kept in cages for animals to gawk at.
Lyrics[]
In Timbuktu, there's a Chimpanzoo
That's run by a chimpanzee.
It's an oddish place where the human race
Is under lock and key.
And on their backs, they wear small plaques
For the animals to view.
Which specify the reasons why
They're kept in the Chimpanzoo.
If you're boisterous and bumptious,
you're grist for the Chimpanzoo!
If you're overly rambuctious,
you're whisked to Timbuktu
Laughs, laughs, nothing but laughs
But you know who's laughing at who?
It's the animals there who giggle and stare
at you in the Chimpanzoo!
(Kazoo break)
You may never play the musicals
In all your wildest dreams.
But billow and blast in the Chimpanzoo
And the animals burst their seams
It takes a lot of talent and time
To become a West End attraction.
But in this place, one rude grimace
Gets a marvelous reaction.
Now this chimpanzoo's relations
Keep the cages looking posh
Till the wick-ids take their tickets
And to play the lemon squash
Laughs, laughs, nothing but laughs
But you know who's laughing at who?
It's the animals there who giggle and stare
Gape with glee incredulously
At the boisterous bumptious rowdy crew
At you in the Chimpanzoo.
