歌曲歌词
An effervescing elephant
With tiny eyes and great big trunk
Once whispered to the tiny ears
The ears of one inferior
That by next June he'd die oh yeah
Because the tiger would roam
And the little one said oh my goodness
I must stay at home
And every time I hear a growl
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
But I'll be really safe you know
The elephant he told me so
And everyone was nervy oh yeah
And the message was spread
To zebra mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus
Who wallowed in the mud and chewed
His spicy hippo plankton food
And tended to ignore the word
Preferring to survey a herd
Of stupid water bison oh yeah
And all the jungle took fright
And ran around for all the day and the night
But all in vain because you see
The tiger came and said who me
You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you
I much prefer something to chew
And You're all too scant oh yeah
He ate the elephant
