Intro

(Fade in)

Verse 1

Zoo time is she and you time

The mammals are your favourite type, and you want her tonight

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers

G#dim7 / (A---Eb)

This town ain't big enough for both of us

And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Verse 2

Flying, domestic flying

And when the stewardess is near do not show any fear

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

You are a khaki-coloured bombardier, it's Hiroshima that you're nearing

G#dim7 / (A---Eb)

This town ain't big enough for both of us

And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Verse 3

Daily, except for Sunday

You dawdle in to the cafe where you meet her each day

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do

G#dim7 / (A---Eb)

This town ain't big enough for both of us

And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Instrumental

Verse 4

Shower, another shower

You've got to look your best for her and be clean everywhere

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down

G#dim7 / (A---Eb)

This town ain't big enough for both of us

And it ain't me who's gonna leave

Verse 5

Census, the latest census

There'll be more girls who live in town though not enough to go round

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

You know that: This town isn't big enough, not big enough for both of us

This town isn't big enough, not big enough for both of us

And I ain't gonna leave
