Bobby Goldsboro Lyrics 4


<Me and The Elephants>

I remember one 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

But we had so much fun, we were glad that we came
We fed all the animals and gave each a name
We 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
All my friends sympathise and say
You'll forget in time, yes you will
Give yourself a little time

But it's already been well over a year
And just in case you're interested, you might like to hear
How everybody's doing down at the City Zoo without you

Well the monkeys forget you
The hippo forget you and so did the kangaroo
But me and the elephants, we still remember you
Me and the elephants, we'll never forget you

So I wrote to Ann Landers and Dear Abbie too
And ask their advice as to what I should do
They said everything that reminds me of you, would all have to go
So I burned all your pictures, expect two or three
The one by my bed and one of my TV
And the one that I always carry with me, everything I go

And today was so nice and since I was in town
I thoght I'd take the opportunity to go down
And see how everyone is down at the City Zoo, and what's new

Well the rhine forget you, the zebra forget you, the polar bear and tiger too
But me and the elephants, we still remember you
Me and the elephants, we'll never forget you



<Broomstick Cowboy>

Dream on little Broomstick Cowboy
Of rocket ships and Mars
Of sunny days and Willie Mays
And chocolate candy bars


Dream on little Broomstick Cowby
Dream while you can
of big green frogs and puppy dogs
And castles in the sand

For all too soon you'll waken
Your toys will all be gone
Your broomstick horse will ride away
To find another home

And you'll have grown into a man
With cowboy of your own
And then you'll have to go to war
To try and save your home

And then you'll have to learn to hate
You'll have to learn to kill
It's always been that way my son
I guess it always will

No broomstick gun they'll hand you
No longer you'll pretend
You'll call some man your enemy
You used to call him friend

And when the rockets thunder
You'll hear your brothers cry
And through it all you'll wonder
Just why they had to die

So dream on little Broomstick Cowboy
Dream while you can
For soon you'll be a dreadful thing
My son, you'll be a man


<Pledge of Love>

I'll be true, I'll be what you want me to
I will never make you blue, I'll be good to you

Take my hand, every wish is my command
If you need a helping hand, I'll be good to you

If you ever need a friend, I'll be there until the end
If you have a feelin' now, I will be around

Can't you see you are all the world to me
Where you are is where I'll be, I'll be good to you



<Little Green Apples>

And I wake up in the morning with my hair down in my eye

And she says " Hi!"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are going off to school, "Goodbye!"
And she reaches out and takes my hand
And squeezes it and says, "How you feeling, hon?"
And I look across at smiling lips that all I've got to say

God didn't make the little green apples
It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime

There's no such things as Doctor Seuss, Disneyland and Mother Goose
There's no nursery rhyme

And when myself is feeling low
I think about her face aglow to ease my mind


Sometimes I call her up at home knowing she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doing
And hurries down to meet me
And I'm always late
But she sits waiting patiently
And smiles when she first sees me 'cause she's made that way
And if that's not loving me, then all I've got to say

God didn't make the little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winters come
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs and autumn leaves and BB guns


<For a Little While>

Our time is done
The time has come
To say good-bye
But I won't cry
Cause you were mine
For a little while

And tho' it's done
With every sun
I'll speak your name
And I will smile
Cause you were mine
For a little while

And I'll remember every thing about your love
The way you smiled and tossed your hair
Tho' you're gone I'll never be without your love
I'll simply close my eyes and you'll be there

We had it all
And I'll recall
Each happy day
And I will smile
Cause you were mine
For a little while

<I Believe The South Is Gonna Rise Again>

Mama never had a flower garden
'Cause cotton grew right up to our front door
And daddy never went on a vacation
He died a tired old man at forty-four

Our neighbors in the big house called us redneck
'Cause we lived in a poor sharecropper's shack
The Jackson's down the road were poor like we were
But I skin was white and their's was black

But I believe the south is gonna rise again
But not the way we thought it would back then
I meet everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again

Now I see wooded parks and big skyscrapers
Where dirty run down shacks red clay here's a cotton field
And I see sons and daughters of sharcroppers
Drinking Scotch and making business dears

But more important I see human progress
As we forget the bad and keep the good
A brand new breeze is blowin' cross the southland

A
nd I see a friend new kind of brotherhood
Yes I believe the south is gonna rise again
But not the way we thought it would back then
I need everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again

I believe the south is gonna rise again
But not the way we thought it would back then
I meet everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again
