An Effervescing Elephant |
| [00:30.116] |
with tiny eyes and great big trunk |
| [00:32.116] |
once whispered to the tiny ear |
| [00:34.066] |
the ear of one inferior |
| [00:35.546] |
that by next June he'd die, oh yeah! |
| [00:38.406] |
because the tiger would roam. |
| [00:40.194] |
The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home! |
| [00:43.843] |
and every time I hear a growl |
| [00:45.700] |
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl |
| [00:47.794] |
and I'll be really safe, you know |
| [00:49.675] |
the elephant he told me so." |
| [00:51.533] |
Everyone was nervy, oh yeah! |
| [00:54.014] |
and the message was spread |
| [00:55.968] |
to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus |
| [00:59.228] |
who wallowed in the mud and chewed |
| [01:01.538] |
his spicy hippo-plankton food |
| [01:03.607] |
and tended to ignore the word |
| [01:04.958] |
preferring to survey a herd |
| [01:07.423] |
of stupid water bison, oh yeah! |
| [01:09.911] |
And all the jungle took fright, |
| [01:11.922] |
and ran around for all the day and the night |
| [01:15.032] |
but all in vain, because, you see, |
| [01:16.641] |
the tiger came and said: "Who me?! |
| [01:18.839] |
You know, I wouldn't hurt not one of you. |
| [01:21.024] |
I'd much prefer something to chew |
| [01:23.064] |
and you're all to scant." oh yeah! |
| [01:25.575] |
He ate the Elephant |
