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

Me and the Elephants

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
