Did you find they were all ringtones and they included the name of the song as one of many tracks from the Commodores..presumably that was why it came up in the search

[captainjames]

Yes, I did
There is a gig here where a group needs the words to perform.

Eight years later, I've found the lyrics! Captain James, I hope the group can now perform the song in its entirety!!

[Intro]
Zoo
The human zoo
We're free

[Verse 1]
As a caged chimpanzee
Right
Or really wrong
Disguised in life
As human right
And they calls us a civilization
We're treated like animals outside our cages
If people see that you're tryin'
They tear you up like hungry lion

[Chorus]
Inside the zoo
The human zoo
What can I do
It's gonna prove

[Verse 2]
Just give your friend a break
He'll bite the hand that feeds him like a rattlesnake
And don't shut your eyes and try to sleep
Otherwise another dog will steal your meat





[Chorus]
Inside the zoo
The human zoo
What can I do
It's gonna prove

[Verse 3]
Zoo
The human zoo
We're free
As a caged chimpanzee
I don't like to get down on their level
I bet it's your turn, I know it's terrible
It's true

[Verse 4]
The human zoo, now
Not like they do, no
I will prove
For me and you, girl
That inside of you
I love you too
I want you to
In this human zoo, lord I'm comin'
Uh huh, in this human zoo
I'm gonna do this for me and you
Oh, I want you too
