Me And The Elephants

I remember one 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 feed all the animals and gave each a name

we didn’t even mind when it started 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

all my friends sympathize and say

you’ll forget in time, yes you will, give yourself a little 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 doin down at the city zoo, without you.

Well the Monkey’s forgot you

the Hippo forgot you and so did the Kangaroo

but me and the Elephants we still remember you

me and the Elephants we’ll never forget you.

So I wrote to Ann Landers and Dear Abbey too

and asked their advise as to what I should do

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, every where I go

And today was so nice and since I was in town

I thought I’d take the opportunity to go down

and see how everyone is down at the city zoo, and what’s new

Well the Rino forgot you the Zebra forgot you

the Polar Bear and Tiger too.

But me and the Elephants we still remember you.

Me and the Elephants we’ll never forget you.
