The Elephant Song



Tell me said the elephant

Tell me brothers if you can

Why all the world is full of creatures

Yet we grow in fear of man

Tell me said the elephant

tell me why this has to be

we have to run from man and hunter

never safe and never free



refrain:



-people kill without regret

although they fly by jumbo-jet

let the word all may remember

let the children not forget.



Gentle is the elephant

Pulling loads and everything

we love to hear the children laughing

when we,re in the circus-ring

Happy was the elephant

Happy was his jungle life

and then they came, the cruel hunters

with their rifle and their knives



refrain:...



Listen, please listen, said the elephant

if we want the world we know, to stay alife

Then man and beast, we must work together

And together we will survive



Listen said the elephant

It is conservation time

So take the warning when we trumpet

For the future of mankind



refrain..
