We feed all the animals and gave each a name
Am7 Dm7
We didn’ even mind when it started to rain
G7 C (C)
We had a real good time
C Dm7
But now that it’s over and you’re far away
G7 C C/B -
I miss you more with each passing day

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

Well the monkeys forgot you

The Hippo forgot you
