All down the street they're standin in line
   with white lipstick and one thing on their mind
   hey little freak with the lunch pail purse
   underneath the paint you're just a little girl
  
   Dancin at the zombie zoo, dancin at the zombie zoo
   Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
   Is dance down at the zombie zoo
  
   Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod?
   Is your mother in a clinic? Has your father got no job?
   Sometimes you're so impulsive you shaved off all your hair
   you look like Boris Karloff and you don't even care
   You're dancin at the zombie zoo dancin at the zombie zoo
  
   She disappears at sunrise, I wonder where she goes until
   The night comes fallin down again she shows
   up with her friends half-alive
  
   You can make a big impression or go through life unseen
   You might wind up restricted and over seventeen
   It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be led
   Somewhere beyond the pavement you'll find the living dead
