Elephants strayed far from their herds

Leathery skinned

Leathery skinned

Leathery skinned



Their swinging trunks

And ears of felt

Down on the veldt



A moonbeam stole

Along each tusk

And then i sang to the boys

Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys

Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys



Branches made of ivory

That seems to fly

Leathery skinned

Leathery skinned

Leathery skinned



Their swinging trunks

And ears of felt

Down on the veldt



A moonbeam stole

Along each tusk

And then i sang to the girls

Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls

Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls



Rhythm time away

Tam, tam , tam...

Rhythm time away

Tam, tam , tam...

Branches side, branches side lining my face

Branches side, branches side lining my face



In africa once a black woman, a black man

In africa once a black woman, a black man



Hunters at home

They curl up the bare

Soles of their feet

While they're singing

Massacre songs with all this little sounds, baby



Branches side, branches side lining my face

Branches side, branches side lining my face

Branches side, branches side lining my face



Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys

Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys



Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls

Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls



Branches side, branches side lining my face

Branches side, branches side lining my face
