Me and the elephant

Me and the elephant

I remember the day we had nothin' to do
So we went down to the City Zoo
Just to kill an hour or two
Out in the good sunshine
But we had so much fun, we were glad that we came
We fed all the animals and gave each a name
An' didn't even mind when it sarted to rain
We had a real good time
But now that it's over and you're far away
I miss you more with each passing day
And all my friends sympathise and say "He'll forget in time
Yes you will, give yourself a little more time"
But it's already been well over a year
And just in case you're interested you might like to hear
How everybody's doing down at the City Zoo
Without you
Well the monkeys forgot ya and the hippo forgot ya
And so did the kangaroo

But me and the elephant, we still remember you
Me and the elephant, we'll never forget you
Well I wrote to Ann Landers and Dear Abby too
And sought their advice as to what I should do
And they said everything that reminds me of you
Would all have to go
So I burned all your pictures, except two or three
The one by my bed and one on my TV
And the one that I always carry with me
Everywhere I go
Now today was so nice and since I was in town
I thought I'd take the oppurtunity to go down
And see how everyone is down at the City Zoo
And what's new
Well the rhino forgot ya an' the zebra forgot ya
The polar bear and tiger too
But me and the elephant, we still remember you
Me and the elephant, we'll never forget you
