Effervescing Elephant

  G                          G7
An effervescing elephant with tiny 
eyes and great big trunk
     C                             
once whispered to the tiny ear, the
 C7
 ear of one in fear, you hear
     G
that by next June he'd die, Oh yeah!
                    D
And the tiger would roam, the little
 one said,
       D7
"Oh my goodness -- I must stay at 
home!
    G

 G7
 know the tiger's on the prowl,

    C                              
And I'll be really safe, you know, 
     C7
the elephant, he told me so."
G
Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah!
                    D              
And the message was spread to 
                    D7
zebra, mongoose and the dirty 
hippopotamus
    G                              
who wallowed in the mud and chewed 
    G7
his spicy hippo-plankton food
    C
and tended to ignore the word,
   C7                           
referring to a survey I heard of 
 G
stupid water bison
Oh yeah!  And all the jungle took 
D
fright,
                           D7
and ran around for all the day and 
the night,
           G
But all in vain because, you see, 
the tiger came and said,
     G7              C
"Who me?  You know I wouldn't hurt 
not one of you --
  C                                
I much prefer something to chew, 
  G
and you're all too scant."
   C                 D   G
Oh yeah!  He ate the elephant.
