The Elephant Song <br />

<br />

Tell me said the elephant <br />

Tell me brothers if you can <br />

Why all the world is full of creatures <br />

Yet we grow in fear of man <br />

Tell me said the elephant <br />

tell me why this has to be <br />

we have to run from man and hunter <br />

never safe and never free <br />

<br />

refrain: <br />

<br />

-people kill without regret <br />

although they fly by jumbo-jet <br />

let the word all may remember <br />

let the children not forget. <br />

<br />

Gentle is the elephant <br />

Pulling loads and everything <br />

we love to hear the children laughing <br />

when we,re in the circus-ring <br />

Happy was the elephant <br />

Happy was his jungle life <br />

and then they came, the cruel hunters <br />

with their rifle and their knives <br />

<br />

refrain:... <br />

<br />

Listen, please listen, said the elephant <br />

if we want the world we know, to stay alife <br />

Then man and beast, we must work together <br />

And together we will survive <br />

<br />

Listen said the elephant <br />

It is conservation time <br />

So take the warning when we trumpet <br />

For the future of mankind <br />

<br />

refrain..
