[00:08.45]A year ago last Thursday I was strolling in the zoo
[00:12.83]When I met a man who though he knew the lot
[00:15.16]
[00:16.02]He was laying down the law about the habits of baboons
[00:19.83]And the number of quills a porcupine has got
[00:21.93]
[00:23.00]So I asked him
[00:23.86]What's that creature there
[00:25.39]He answered
[00:26.34]Nyeh h' it's a h' elk
[00:27.21]
[00:28.19]I might of gone on thinking that was true
[00:30.26]
[00:31.52]If the animal in question hadn't put that chap to shame
[00:35.61]And remarked
[00:36.72]I h'ain't a h'elk
[00:38.83]I'm a G N U

[01:24.70]Whence I travelled on to Ashton under Lyne it was actually
[01:28.17]And the second night I stayed there
[01:30.03]I was wakened from a dream
[01:31.56]That I'll tell you all about
[01:32.88]Some other time
[01:33.98]
[01:34.99]Among the hunting trophies on the wall above my bed
[01:38.70]Stuffed and mounted was a face I thought I knew
[01:41.64]
[01:43.05]A bison
[01:43.77]
