"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"
