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.. |
