That's a great parody, but wasn't there an original? Did it start out as a song about a Ford V8 and buffalo roaming in the zoo??

OK, try this thread. The original is in there, along with another verse to the parody, and some info.

I think the "original" is the 1936 song by Johnny Mercer, the one about the V-8. As far as I know, there is no earlier song.
