Eugene - Effervescing Elephant
текст песни

An Effervescing Elephant
With tiny eyes and great big trunk
Once whispered to the tiny ear
The ear of one inferior
That by next June he'd die
Oh yeah!
Because the tiger would roam
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
And I'll be really safe you know
The elephant he told me so
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'd much prefer something to chew
And you're all too scant
Oh yeah!
He ate the Elephant
