G G                          G7 G7
An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk

C C C7 C7
once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear, you hear

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

D D
And the tiger would roam, the little one said,

D7 D7
"Oh my goodness -- I must stay at home!

G G G7 G7
And every time I hear a growl, I'll know the tiger's on the prowl,

C C C7 C7
And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so."

G G
Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah!

D D D7 D7
And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus

G G G7 G7
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food

C C
and tended to ignore the word,

C7 C7 G G
referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison

D D
Oh yeah! And all the jungle took fright,

D7 D7
and ran around for all the day and the night,

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

G7 G7 C C
"Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you --

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

C C D D G G
Oh yeah! He ate the elephant.
