| [00:09.47] | An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes, and great big trunk |
| [00:13.17] | once whispered to the tiny ear the ear of one inferior |
| [00:16.95] | that by next june he'd die, Oh yeah! |
| [00:19.45] | because the tiger would roam |
| [00:21.62] | and the little one said oh my goodness I must stay at home |
| [00:25.04] | and everytime I hear a growl I'll know the tiger's on the prowl |
| [00:29.15] | but I'll be really safe you know |
| [00:30.96] | The elephant he told me so |
| [00:33.18] | And everyone was nervvy, oh yeah! |
| [00:35.67] | and the message was spread to zebra, mongoose, |
| [00:39.00] | and the dirty hippopotamus |
| [00:41.04] | who wallowed in the mud |
| [00:42.42] | and chewed his spicy hippoplanckton food |
| [00:45.12] | and tended to ignore the word |
| [00:47.84] | prefering to survey a herd of stupid water bison, oh yeah! |
| [00:52.41] | and the jungle took fright |
| [00:54.59] | and ran around for all the day and the night |
| [00:57.62] | but all in vain |
| [00:58.71] | because you see the tiger came and said |
| [01:01.36] | "Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you “ |
| [01:04.42] | I much prefer something to chew |
| [01:06.47] | and you're all too scant, oh yeah!" |
| [01:09.33] | He ate the elephant... |
| [00:09.47] | An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes, and great big trunk |
