A
An Effervescing Elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk
D
once whispered to the tiny ear the ear of one inferior
A
that by next June he'd die, oh yeah!
E7
because the tiger would roam.
The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home!
A
and every time I hear a growl I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
D
and I'll be really safe, you know the elephant he told me so."
A
Everyone was nervy, oh yeah!
E7
and the message was spread
to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
A
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food
D
and tended to ignore the word preferring to survey a herd
A E7
of stupid water bison, oh yeah! And all the jungle took fright,
and ran around for all the day and the night
A
but all in vain, because, you see, the tiger came and said: "Who me?!
D
You know, I wouldn't hurt not one of you. I'd much prefer something to chew
A E7
and you're all too scant." oh yeah!
A
He ate the Elephant
