I love this little song, definitely one of my favorites off 69LS.
I don't know if the meaning is obvious, but since no one else has commented, I'll offer my interpretation. It seems the song is basically about how "money doesn't bring you happiness". You can have all the material things in the world, all the pearls, the Great Pyramid, the treasures in Louvre (so that they all just seem like "tchotchkes" to you), but you can't stop wanting always more.
The narrator in the song has worked her way all the way from A to Z, through all the possible things you can own, and now she wants a zebra. But when she has that one zebra, not even that is enough; she must have another.
