Gnu Gnu
(Chip Withrow)

I stayed in bed all day sick with the flu
Read a book about Africa, learned about the gnu
Gnu, gnu ? yes I know it has a silent G
Gnu, gnu ? looks like an ox, hangs out with ostriches
Gnu sounds better to me.

On Saturday I went down to the zoo
The map was so confusing I didn?t know what to do
Gnu, gnu ? said to the zookeeper, mister tell me true
Gnu gnu ? you got so many animals
Now where you hiding the gnu?

Gnu, gnu ? they got horns and sometimes they are blue
Gnu gnu ? sometimes they?re called wildebeests
And I like that too
Gnu, gnu ? he feasted on the wild grass and how he grew
Gnu, gnu ? he?ll run away then turn around and stare right at you.

The herds they migrate looking for food
He might look slow but he?s a pretty quick dude
Gnu, gnu ? gotta outrun lions and hyenas too
Gnu, gnu ? got hooves so they don?t need any socks or shoes

Gnu, gnu ? you sent me back to school a smarter young man-ah
Gnu, gnu ? cause I know now you live in a savannah
Gnu, gnu ? yes I know it has a silent G
Gnu, gnu ? so does gnat, a tiny bug kinda like a flea
Gnu, gnu ? I?d like to visit Africa where the gnu run free
Yeah, I?d like to visit Africa, where wildebeest run free.
