G G7
An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk

C C7
once whispered to the tiny ear the ear of one in fear you hear

G
that by next June he'd die Oh yeah

D
And the tiger would roam the little one said

D7
Oh my goodness -- I must stay at home

G G7
And every time I hear a growl I'll know the tiger's on the prowl

C C7
And I'll be really safe you know the elephant he told me so

G
Everyone was nervous Oh yeah

D D7
And the message was spread to zebra mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus

G G7
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food

C
and tended to ignore the word

C7 G
referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison

D
Oh yeah And all the jungle took fright

D7
and ran around for all the day and the night

G
But all in vain because you see the tiger came and said

G7 C
Who me You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you -

C G
I much prefer something to chew and you're all too scant

C D G
Oh yeah He ate the elephant
