My high school choir director would sing the “live in a zoo/smell” variant as a followup to this, to the tune of the Volga Boat Song: Oh happy birthday Oh happy birthday Misery is in the air People dying everywhere Oh happy birthday

Chimps aren’t monkeys – they are apes. Think Teena would have known that.

The way that tree is leaning, it would appear to be an easy escape for the chimps, to get out and attack the visitors.

The second line should be “you live in a zoo”, that’s the way I’ve always heard it, that is.

Teena knows they’re apes, and so does Stick.They’re just playing the chimps, that’s all.

Personally, I’ve always heard this song as …
“Happy Birthday to youYou live in a zooYou act like a monkeyand you smell like one, too.”
