Songtext Me and the elephant Charlie Landsborough

Me and the elephant

I remember the 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

We had so much fun
We were glad that we came
Feed all the animals
And gave each a name
Didn't even mind when it started to rain
We had a real good time

Now that it's over and your far away
I miss you more with each passin day
And all my friends sympathize and say
You'll for get in time
Yes you will
Give yourself a little time

But it's already been over a year
Just in case you interested
You might like to hear
How everyone is doing down at the city zoo with out you
Well the monkey forgot you
The hippo forgot you
And so did the kangaroo
But me and the elephant
We still remember you
Me and the elephant will never forget you

Well I called down an old friend
Trusted and true
Sought his advice as to what I should do
He said everything that reminds me of you
Would all have to go
So I burned all of your pictures
Except two or three
The one by my bed
And the 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 the tiger too
But me and the elephant we still remember you
Me and the elephant will never forget you
