Me and the Elephant

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
and 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
and all my friends criticize and say,
" You'll forget in time, yes you will
Give yourself a little more time."
But, it's already been well over a year
and just in case you're interested and might like to hear
how everybody's doing down at the city zoo
and what's new,
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.
So 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,
one by my bed and one on the T.V.
and the one that I'll 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
without you,
Well, the rhino forgot you, the zebra forgot you,
the polar bear and tiger, too
But me and the elephant, we still remember you
Me and the elephant
will never forget you.
