[00:28.257]An Effervescing Elephant
[00:30.116]with tiny eyes and great big trunk
[00:32.116]once whispered to the tiny ear
[00:34.066]the ear of one inferior
[00:35.546]that by next June he'd die, oh yeah!
[00:38.406]because the tiger would roam.
[00:40.194]The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home!
[00:43.843]and every time I hear a growl
[00:45.700]I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
[00:47.794]and I'll be really safe, you know
[00:49.675]the elephant he told me so."
[00:51.533]Everyone was nervy, oh yeah!
[00:54.014]and the message was spread
[00:55.968]to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
[00:59.228]who wallowed in the mud and chewed
[01:01.538]his spicy hippo-plankton food
[01:03.607]and tended to ignore the word
[01:04.958]preferring to survey a herd
[01:07.423]of stupid water bison, oh yeah!
[01:09.911]And all the jungle took fright,
[01:11.922]and ran around for all the day and the night
[01:15.032]but all in vain, because, you see,
[01:16.641]the tiger came and said: "Who me?!
[01:18.839]You know, I wouldn't hurt not one of you.
[01:21.024]I'd much prefer something to chew
[01:23.064]and you're all to scant." oh yeah!
[01:25.575]He ate the Elephant
