An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk

                              C7C7 Piano Chord 

once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear, you hear

GG Piano Chord 

that by next June he'd die, Oh yeah!

DD Piano Chord 

And the tiger would roam, the little one said,

D7D7 Piano Chord 

"Oh my goodness -- I must stay at home!

GG Piano Chord 
                               G7G7 Piano Chord 

And every time I hear a growl, I'll know the tiger's on the prowl,

CC Piano Chord 
                                   C7C7 Piano Chord 

And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so."

GG Piano Chord 

Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah!

DD Piano Chord 
                                  D7D7 Piano Chord 

And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus

GG Piano Chord 
                                  G7G7 Piano Chord 

who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food

CC Piano Chord 

and tended to ignore the word,

C7C7 Piano Chord 
                            GG Piano Chord 

referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison

DD Piano Chord 

Oh yeah!  And all the jungle took fright,

D7D7 Piano Chord 

and ran around for all the day and the night,

GG Piano Chord 

But all in vain because, you see, the tiger came and said,

G7G7 Piano Chord 
              CC Piano Chord 

"Who me?  You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you --

CC Piano Chord 
                                  GG Piano Chord 

I much prefer something to chew, and you're all too scant."

Oh yeah!  He ate the elephant.
