Flanders - The Gnu Song
A year ago last Thursday
I was strolling in the zoo
When I met a man
Who though he knew the lot
He was laying down the law
About the habits of Baboons
And how many quills a porcupine has got
So I asked him
'What's that creature there '
He answered: 'Oh H'it's a H'elk'
I might of gone on thinking that was true
If the animal in question hadn't
Put that chap to shame
And remarked: 'I h'aint a H'elk I'm a Gnu '
'I'm a Gnu I'm a Gnu
The g-nicest work of g-nature in the zoo
I'm a Gnu How do you do
You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho's
I'm a Gnu Spelt G-N-U
I'm g-not a Camel or a Kangaroo
So let me introduce
I'm g-neither man nor moose
Oh g-no g-no g-no I'm a Gnu'
I had taken furnished lodgings down
At Rustington-on-Sea
Whence I travelled
On to Ashton-under-Lyne it was actually
And the second night I stayed
There I was woken from a dream
That I'll tell you all about some other time
Among the hunting trophies
On the wall above my bed
Stuffed and mounted
Was a face I thought I knew;
A Bison No it's not a Bison An Okapi
Unlikely Really A Hartebeest
When I though I heard a voice: 'I'm a Gnu '
I'm a Gnu A g-nother gnu
I wish I could g-nash my teeth at you
I'm a Gnu How do you do
You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho
I'm a Gnu Spelt G-N-U
Call me Bison or Okapi and I'll sue
G-nor am I the least
Like that dreadful Hartebeest
Oh g-no g-no g-no
G-no g-no g-no I'm a Gnu
G-no g-no g-no I'm a Gnu
