I re – member one day we had nothin to do
So we went down to the city zoo [C/B][-]
Just to kill an hour or two
Out in the good sun – shine
But we had so much fun we were glad that we came
We feed all the animals and gave each a name [C/B]
We didn’ even mind when it started to rain
We had a real good time [(C)]
But now that it’s over and you’re far away
I miss you more with each passing day[C/B][-]
All my friends sympa – thize 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
Chorus:
Well the monkeys forgot you,
The Hippo forgot you
And so did the Kanga – roo [/]
C G g#
But me and the Elephants we still remem – ber
You [C/G][-][D7/F#][-][-]
Me and the Elephants we’ll never forget you

So I wrote to Ann Landers and Dear Abbey too
And asked their advice as to what I should do [C/B]
They said everything that re – minds me of you
Would all have to go
So I burned all your pictures ex – cept two or three
The one by my bed and one on my TV [C/B]
And the one that I always carry with me, very where I go
And to – day was so nice and since I was in town
I thought I’d take the opportuni – ty to go down
And see how everyone is down at the city zoo
And what’s new
Chorus:
Well the monkeys forgot you
The Hippo forgot you
And so did the Kanga – roo [/]
