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 its 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
