Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Syd Barrett
[00:01.00] 作词 : Syd Barrett
[00:28.01] An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes, and great big trunk
[00:32.16] once whispered to the tiny ear the ear of one inferior
[00:36.02] that by next june he'd die, Oh yeah!
[00:38.58] because the tiger would roam
[00:40.61] and the little one said oh my goodness I must stay at home
[00:44.02] and everytime I hear a growl I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
[00:47.85] and I'll be really safe you know
[00:49.94] The elephant he told me so
[00:51.90] And everyone was nervvy, oh yeah!
[00:54.26] and the message was spread to zebra, mongoose,
[00:57.55] and the dirty hippopotamus
[00:59.54] who wallowed in the mud
[01:00.86] and chewed his spicy hippoplanckton food
[01:03.31] and tended to ignore the word
[01:05.61] prefering to survey a herd of stupid water bison, oh yeah!
[01:09.97] and all the jungle took fright
[01:12.00] and ran around for all the day and the night
[01:14.80] but all in vain
[01:15.92] because you see the tiger came and said
[01:18.37] "Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you “
[01:21.11] I much prefer something to chew
[01:23.21] and you're all too scant, oh yeah!"
[01:25.57] He ate the elephant...
