《The Gnu Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gnu Song - Flanders & Swann

[00:00:10] A year ago last Thursday I was strolling in the zoo

[00:00:14] When I met a man who thought he knew the lot

[00:00:18] He was laying down the law about the habits of baboons

[00:00:21] And the number of quills a porcupine has got

[00:00:25] So I asked him "What's that creature there ”

[00:00:27] He answered "Oh it's a h-elk"

[00:00:30] I might have gone on thinking that was true

[00:00:33] If the animal in question hadn’t put that chap to shame

[00:00:37] And remarked "I h-ain't a h-elk I'm a g-nu"

[00:00:45] “I'm a g-nu

[00:00:47] I'm a g-nu

[00:00:50] The g-nicest work of g-nature in the zoo

[00:00:53] I'm a g-nu

[00:00:55] How do you do

[00:00:57] You really ought to k-now w-ho’s w-ho "

[00:01:01] "I'm a g-nu spelt G-N-U

[00:01:04] I'm g-not a camel or a kangaroo

[00:01:08] So let me introduce

[00:01:10] I'm g-neither man or moose

[00:01:12] Oh g-know g-know g-know

[00:01:14] I'm a g-nu "

[00:01:22] I had taken furnished lodgings down at Rustington-On-Sea

[00:01:26] Whence I travelled on to Ashton-Under-Lime it wasactually

[00:01:30] And the second night I stayed there I was wakened froma dream

[00:01:33] Which I'll tell you all about some other time

[00:01:37] Among the hunting trophies on the wall above my bed

[00:01:41] Stuffed and mounted was a face I thought I knew

[00:01:45] A bison No it's not a bison An ocapi It's unlikely really

[00:01:51] Could it be a hartebeest

[00:01:55] When I seemed to hear a voice: “I'm a g-nu"

[00:02:03] "I'm a g-nu

[00:02:05] A g-nother g-nu

[00:02:07] I wish I could g-nash my teeth at you

[00:02:11] I'm a g-nu

[00:02:12] How do you do

[00:02:14] You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho ”

[00:02:18] "I'm a g-nu spelt G-N-U

[00:02:21] Call me 'bison' or 'ocapi' and I'll sue

[00:02:25] G-nor am I in the least

[00:02:27] Like that dreadful hartebeest

[00:02:29] Oh g-no g-no g-no

[00:02:33] G-know g-know g-know I'm a g-nu

[00:02:36] G-know g-know g-know I'm a g-nu

[00:03:03] That's very g-nice of you
