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
