[Intro]
     Ab                 Eb        
(Hip-hip hooray for the elephants 
Gm    Cm   Eb   Ab   Eb
on parade)
     Ab                 Eb        
(Hip hip hooray for the elephants on
G
 parade)


[Verse 1]
Am
   Take the gist of it and twist it
                     Eb
'Til it makes you smile

And don't be scared if there's a 
snare

Sometimes it takes a while
G
There's much to learn from every 
turn inside a labyrinth
     Ab
Don't you try to think about it

No way to talk about it


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                                
   And I will ever change and 
                       Eb
never cease to be amazed

Air bubbles up and overflows and 
then it goes away
G                              
I want to hold and nurture every 
                 Ab
second of this life

That has been given to me

Even though limitedly


[Chorus]
Cm                   Eb
   Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh
Ab            Eb                 
My my, been a long time comin' 
      Ab
home
           Eb         G           
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his 
Cm
soul
                     Eb
Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now
    Ab                   Eb
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones 
on your
    Ab                 Eb        
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on 
Gm
parade



[Verse 2]
Am

Line alright for this whole time
    Eb
And I'm fine if I can

Tell a lie about the minor crimes
G
I won't try to justify the reason 
why
Ab
I think that I'll never die is so 
preposterous
    Am                             
It's like a bag of circus peanuts 
                  Eb
in a sewage drain

Or airin' out your dirty laundry on 
a weather vane
G                                 
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants 
          Ab
on parade

They're gonna trample themselves

They're gonna trample themselves


[Chorus]
Cm                   Eb
   Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh
Ab            Eb                 
My my, been a long time comin' 
      Ab
home
           Eb         G           
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his 
Cm
soul
                     Eb
Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now
    Ab                   Eb
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones 
on your
    Ab                 Eb        
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants 
G     C
on parade


[Bridge]
G
  I got the feeling that I wanna be 
alone with you
    Cm7
And I got the feeling that you
      Eb                           
Might want to be alone with me too
 Cm


Take a finger and snap, just like 
that
      Eb
And I had to say hey baby let's go
F
And make it home for our show
G
Simple defragmentation gets us to 
the point at last
Eb
But no relaxing 'til they give us 
all our memory back
Cm7
Touche but they had the wherewithal
               Eb
To take it all out of order anyway
                             G
They can always make you pay up

And I will ever change and never 
             Eb
cease to be amazed

Air bubbles up and overflows and 
then it goes away
Cm7                            
I want to hold and nurture every 
                 Eb
second of this life

That has been given to me
F                      G
Even though limitedly

Like a bag of circus peanuts in a 
sewage drain
Eb
Or airin' out your dirty laundry on 
a weather vane
C
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on 
parade
Eb                 F         
Hip hooray for the elephants on 
           G
parade

Take the gist of it and twist it 
                         Eb
'til it makes you smile

And don't be scared if there's a 
snare

Sometimes it takes a while
C                                
There's much to learn from every 
Eb
turn inside a labyrinth
Gm
Don't you try to think about it

Ain't no way to talk about it

G
I will ever change and never cease 
to be amazed
Bb                     Eb
Air bubbles up and overflows and 
then it goes away
C                              
I want to hold and nurture every 
                 Eb
second of this life

That has been given to me
F
Even the limits in me
