This is an English song I've used with my Grade 2 & 3 Japanese elementary school students. The song's chorus is quite catchy ("We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo!") but the main verses can be a bit hard. Nevertheless, it's still a fun one with just the choruse. It looks like there are several versions of this song out there (here is another version from Youtube). The song I have is from a CD of ESL songs from Japan (I can't find it online). The lyrics may vary in the version you have so be sure to double check it!

Going to the Zoo Lyrics
Daddy’s taking us to the zoo tomorrow!
Zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow!
Daddy’s taking us to the zoo tomorrow!
We can stay all day
We’re going to the zoo (zoo zoo zoo!)
How about you (you you you!)
You can come too (too too too!)
We’re going to the zoo (zoo zoo!)
See the ELEPHANT with the long trunk swingin'
Great big ears and a long trunk swingin'
Snuffin' up peanuts with a long trunk swingin'
And we can stay all day!
…
See all the MONKEYS scritch-scritch scratchin'
Jumpin' around and scritch-scritch scratchin'
Hangin' by the long-tail scritch-scritch scratchin'
And we can stay all day!
…
SEALS in the pool all honk-honk-honkin'
Catchin' the fish and honk-honk-honkin'
Little seals all honk-honk-honkin'
And we can stay all day!
…
We stayed all day and I'm gettin' sleepy
Sittin' in the car gettin' sleep sleep sleepy
Home already gettin' sleep sleep sleepy
We have stayed all day.
We’ve been to the zoo zoo zoo!
So have you you you
You came too too too
We been to the zoo zoo zoo!
