ME AND THE ELEPHANT
(Benny Whitehead)
Intro:		D  	Em  	G      AX2
DI reGmember the day we had nothin' to do
ASo wDe went down to the City Zoo
DJusEmt to kill an hour or two
AOut Din 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
An' 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 sympathise and say "He'll forget in time,
YeAs yoDu will, give yourself a little more time"
GBut Ait's already been well over a year
DAnd jGust in case you're interested you might like to hear
EmHow eAverDybody's doing down at the City Zoo
DWithout you
GWell Athe monkeys forgot ya and the hippo forgot ya
DAnBmd so DdGid the kangaroo
DBut Ame aBmnd Gthe Emelephant, we still remember you
D			A		Intro X 2	
Me and the elephant, we'll never forget you
Well 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
The one by my bed and one on my TV
And the one that I always carry with me
Everywhere I go
Now 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 ya an' the zebra forgot ya
The polar bear and tiger too
But me and the elephant, we still remember you
Me and the elephant, we'll never forget you
Outro: 		D  	A  	G   	Em  D

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

An' 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 sympathise and say "He'll forget in time,

Yes you will, give yourself a little more time"

Me and the elephant, we'll never forget you

The one by my bed and one on my TV

And the one that I always carry with me

Everywhere I go

Now 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 ya an' the zebra forgot ya

The polar bear and tiger too

But me and the elephant, we still remember you

Me and the elephant, we'll never forget you
