I re - [C] member one day we had [Dm7] nothin to do
[G7] So we went down to the [C] city zoo [C/B][-]
[Am7] Just to kill an [Dm7] hour or two
[G7] Out in the good sun - [C] shine
But we [C] had so much fun we were [Dm7] glad that we came
We [G7] feed all the animals and [C] gave each a name [C/B]
We [Am7] didn' even mind when it [Dm7] started to rain
[G7] We had a real good [C] time [(C)]
But [C] now that it's over and [Dm7] you're far away
[G7] I miss you more with [C] each passing day[C/B][-]
[Am7] All my friends sympa - [Dm7] thize and say
[G7] You'll forget in [C] time, yes you [Em] will,
[Dm7] Give yourself a [G7] little [C] time.
But it's [F] already been well [G7] over a year
And [C] just in case you're interested you [F] might like to [Em] hear
How [Dm7] everybody's doin [G] down at the city [C] zoo,
Without [C7] you
Chorus:
Well the [F] monkeys forgot you,
The [G7] Hippo forgot you
And [C] so did the [E7] Kanga - [Am] roo [Fm6][/]
C G g#
But me and the Elephants we still remem - ber
[Am] You [C/G][-][D7/F#][-][Fm6][-]
[C] Me and the Elephants [G] we'll never forget [C] you

So I [C] wrote to Ann Landers and [Dm7] Dear Abbey too
And [G7] asked their advice as to [C] what I should do [C/B]
They [Am7] said everything that re - [Dm7] minds me of you
[G7] Would all have to [C] go
So I [C] burned all your pictures ex - [Dm7] cept two or three
The [G7] one by my bed and one [C] on my TV [C/B]
And the [Am7] one that I always [Dm7] carry with me, [G7] very where I [C] go
And to - [F] day was so nice and since [G7] I was in town
I [C] thought I'd take the opportuni - [F] ty to go [Em] down
And [Dm7] see how everyone is [G] down at the [C] city zoo
And what's [C7] new
