[00:00:00] The Gnu Song (Live) - Michael Flanders/Donald Swann

[00:00:03] Written by：Swann Flanders

[00:00:08] A year ago last Thursday I was strolling in the zoo

[00:00:12] When I met a man who though he knew the lot

[00:00:16] He was laying down the law about the habits of baboons

[00:00:19] And the number of quills a porcupine has got

[00:00:23] So I asked him

[00:00:23] What's that creature there

[00:00:25] He answered

[00:00:26] Nyeh h' it's a h' elk

[00:00:28] I might of gone on thinking that was true

[00:00:31] If the animal in question hadn't put that chap to shame

[00:00:35] And remarked

[00:00:36] I h'ain't a h'elk

[00:00:38] I'm a G N U

[00:00:43] I'm a G N U

[00:00:45] I'm a G N U

[00:00:47] The gnicest work of gnature in the zoo

[00:00:51] I'm a G N U

[00:00:53] How d' you do

[00:00:55] You really ought to know wawho's wawho

[00:00:59] I'm a G N U

[00:01:00] Spelt G N U

[00:01:02] I'm gnot a camel or a kangaroo

[00:01:06] So let me introduce

[00:01:08] I'm gneither man nor moose

[00:01:10] Oh gno gno gno I'm a G N U

[00:01:20] I had taken furnished lodgings down at Rustington on sea

[00:01:24] Whence I travelled on to Ashton under Lyne it was actually

[00:01:28] And the second night I stayed there

[00:01:30] I was wakened from a dream

[00:01:31] That I'll tell you all about

[00:01:32] Some other time

[00:01:34] Among the hunting trophies on the wall above my bed

[00:01:38] Stuffed and mounted was a face I thought I knew

[00:01:43] A bison

[00:01:44] No it's not a bison

[00:01:46] An okapi

[00:01:48] Sunlikely

[00:01:49] Could it be a hartebeest

[00:01:53] I seemed to hear a voice

[00:01:56] I'm a G N U

[00:02:00] I'm a G N U

[00:02:02] A gnother G N U

[00:02:05] I wish I could gnash my teeth at you

[00:02:08] I'm a G N U

[00:02:10] How do you do

[00:02:12] You really ought to know wawho's wawho

[00:02:15] I'm a G N U spelt G N U

[00:02:19] Call me bison or okapi and I'll sue

[00:02:23] Gnor am I in the least

[00:02:24] Like that dreadful hartebeest

[00:02:26] Oh gno gno gno

[00:02:31] Gno gno gno I'm a G N U

[00:02:34] Gno gno gno

[00:02:37] I'm a G N U
