I set out to Weird Al's house many years ago
Hoping I would sing a parody along the broken road
But Al lost his parents a day or two
Wiped his eye and kept passing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to the zoo

(Chorus)
Every long lost dream lead me to where Al is
Others who broke his heart I was like his northern star
Pointing me on my way into his parent's arms
This much I know is true
That I crossed the broken road
That led me straight to the zoo

I think about the years Al spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time Al lost and give it back to him
But he just smile and took my hand
And told me I understand
It's all part of the life that is coming true

(chorus)

Now I'm just going home
Into my parents arms
This much I know, is true
That I crossed the broken road
That led me straight to the zoo
That I crossed the broken road
That led me straight to the zoo
