Intro

DI remember the day we haGd nothin' to do

ASo we went down to the CDity Zoo

DJust to kill an Emhour or two

AOut in the good Dsunshine

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 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

And all my friends sympathise and say "He'll forget in time,

 Yes you will, giAve yourself a little morDe time"

DWithout you

GWell the monkeys forgot ya and tAhe hippo forgot ya

D A Intro X 2

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 opportunity 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
