Effervescing Elephant

Effervescing Elephant аккорды

			C C7
An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk

G G7
once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear, you hear

C
that by next June he'd die, Oh yeah!

C
And the tiger would roam, the little one said,

C7
"Oh my goodness -- I must stay at home!

C C7
And every time I hear a growl, I'll know the tiger's on the prowl,

G G7
And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so."

C
Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah!

C C7
And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus

C C7
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food

G
and tended to ignore the word,

G7 C
referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison

C
Oh yeah! And all the jungle took fright,

C7
and ran around for all the day and the night,

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

C7 G
"Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you --

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

G C C
Oh yeah! He ate the elephant.
