Temperance Movement, The - Backwater Zoo Lyrics
Baby I would give you all the tea in China
Cos you're the sweetest little honey bee that I've ever seen
And when the things go wrong
I'll get you smiling by singing my song
Surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo
Something ain't right, I see that your sunshine's fading
I've been dancing all day and you never even raised an eye
You're all uptight but with a little more investigating
I'll find my way on through and you can tickle me too all night
So don't give up, don't give in
Wipe the slate clean and begin again
Send me a thumbs up and I'll send you a smiley face
Don't wear your blues like a noose
You're wear yourself out all your worrying
But if you're begging the question then I'll tell you the truth
Baby I would give you all the tea in China
Cos you're the sweetest little honey bee that I've ever seen
And when the things go wrong
I'll get you smiling by singing my song
Surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo
Late last night I saw a hole in the sky above me
And it was sucking all my dreams up into the great beyond
I held on tight cos I knew my honey bee she loved me
I said good bye bye to my blues and I turned it around, oh yes
Baby I would give you all the tea in China
Cos you're the sweetest little honey bee that I've ever seen
And when the things go wrong
I'll get you smiling by singing my song
Surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo
So don't give up, don't give in
Wipe the slate clean and begin again
Send me kiss kiss on the lips
And I'll send you kool kats and a rocket ship
Baby I would give you all the tea in China
Cos you're the sweetest little honey bee that I've ever seen
And when the things go wrong
I'll get you smiling by singing my song
Surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo
Surely we're the kookiest two in a backwater zoo
In a backwater zoo
In a backwater zoo

Superb xx
Brilliant
You guys are hands down the best rock band of the decade!
Such a good vibin' song! Love it!
Best song from these guys I've heard. More piano on your tracks :) This sounds really good.
More MODERN classic rock! Welcome to the future which is very much influenced by the 70's, the greatest decade in the history of rock music. If your disagree, please go look at what albums were released then.
This should be the ghost track of Tumbleweed Connection album! Lol!!
Omg just brilliant 😊 my new favourite band.
I just saw them in California...and the first words out of my mouth after their first song was "this is my new favorite band!" lol
Who knows the actual lyrics at the end of the chorus? It sounds like they say “show me where the cookie is too and the Backwater Zoo” Just curious I can’t find it anywhere online
"Surely we're the kookiest two at the backwater zoo"
skylar hyatt thank you makes more sense
Surely we're the crooked two in a back water zoo.
Where have you hid my digeridoo at the backwater zoo
Phenomenal band. Should be huge. A Deeper Cut deserves to be album of the year already
So, would you let him look after your kids? The guys fucking nuts! Gotta be a nutter though if you want to be a creative genius!
Really looking forward to seeing you in Finland (the town of Hamina) this summer!!!!
DUUUUUDE I WANNA SEE PHIL PLAY MORE PIANO!!! Terrific record guys!!! Keep on rock’n!!!🤘🏼
Saw these guys over here in the states with Blackberry Smoke and became a instant fan, The Temperance Movement Rocks.

Brilliant! I was lucky enough to be present for this recording and, wow, did they sound incredible. 'A Deeper Cut' has to be their best album to date ... they just keep going from strength to strength. Such talented musicians ... were there any justice, these boys would already be playing arenas!
