Born on the run
Got to learn
The advancing throng
Born…On the run
Where to cross
There's no choice
The lion that hides
Born…On the run
Just part of the chain Roger Gall 1997 This was a song that I wrote about the life of the wildebeest (or the gnu). It was suggested to me, after I had sung it once, that it was more about another certain two-legged mammal. |

Do you know the one about I'm a g-nu, I'm a g-nu (something something) and I am not in the least like that dreadful hartebeest, oh g-no, g-no, g-no, I'm a g-nu! I have it by John Lithgow on the same tape as the Triplets song (HEY JOE still awaiting your version!)... If anyone knows the rest of the lyrics? |

18 May 00 - 09:00 PM (#230237) Subject: RE: Song about the gnu? From: Bugsy Many years ago there wasa guy who worked a very successful dog act in a circus in the UK. Unfortunately his dog was stomped on by the Indian Elephant who was going through Menopausal mood swings at the time and this left him without an animal to perform with. The only animal not being worked at that time was a 28 year old Gnu. The Dog Trainer worked for weeks with the Gnu trying to train him to jump through hoops, stand on his hind legs, ride a bicycle etc., but the Gnu just sat in the middle of the centre ring and looked baleful. Which just goes to prove the old addage "You can't teach an old GNU, DOG tricks. Cheers
