The Gnu Song (Live) - Michael Flanders/Donald Swann[00:00:00]
Written by:Swann Flanders[00:00:03]
A year ago last Thursday I was strolling in the zoo[00:00:08]
When I met a man who though he knew the lot[00:00:12]
He was laying down the law about the habits of baboons[00:00:16]
And the number of quills a porcupine has got[00:00:19]
So I asked him[00:00:23]
What's that creature there[00:00:23]
He answered[00:00:25]
Nyeh h' it's a h' elk[00:00:26]
I might of gone on thinking that was true[00:00:28]
If the animal in question hadn't put that chap to shame[00:00:31]
And remarked[00:00:35]
I h'ain't a h'elk[00:00:36]
I'm a G N U[00:00:38]
I'm a G N U[00:00:43]
I'm a G N U[00:00:45]
The gnicest work of gnature in the zoo[00:00:47]
I'm a G N U[00:00:51]
How d' you do[00:00:53]
You really ought to know wawho's wawho[00:00:55]
I'm a G N U[00:00:59]
Spelt G N U[00:01:00]
I'm gnot a camel or a kangaroo[00:01:02]
So let me introduce[00:01:06]
I'm gneither man nor moose[00:01:08]
Oh gno gno gno I'm a G N U[00:01:10]
I had taken furnished lodgings down at Rustington on sea[00:01:20]
Whence I travelled on to Ashton under Lyne it was actually[00:01:24]
And the second night I stayed there[00:01:28]
I was wakened from a dream[00:01:30]
That I'll tell you all about[00:01:31]
Some other time[00:01:32]
Among the hunting trophies on the wall above my bed[00:01:34]
Stuffed and mounted was a face I thought I knew[00:01:38]
A bison[00:01:43]
No it's not a bison[00:01:44]
An okapi[00:01:46]
Sunlikely[00:01:48]
Could it be a hartebeest[00:01:49]
I seemed to hear a voice[00:01:53]
I'm a G N U[00:01:56]
I'm a G N U[00:02:00]
A gnother G N U[00:02:02]
I wish I could gnash my teeth at you[00:02:05]
I'm a G N U[00:02:08]
How do you do[00:02:10]
You really ought to know wawho's wawho[00:02:12]
I'm a G N U spelt G N U[00:02:15]
Call me bison or okapi and I'll sue[00:02:19]
Gnor am I in the least[00:02:23]
Like that dreadful hartebeest[00:02:24]
Oh gno gno gno[00:02:26]
Gno gno gno I'm a G N U[00:02:31]
Gno gno gno[00:02:34]
I'm a G N U[00:02:37]
