Me and the Elephants
I remember one day we had nothing 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
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 doing down at the City Zoo without you

Well, the monkeys 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 Abby, too
And asked their advice 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
Everywhere 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 rhino 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
