Elephant Talk Lyrics
Talk, it's only talk
Arguments, agreements, advice, answers,
Articulate announcements
It's only talk
Talk, it's only talk
Babble, burble, banter, bicker bicker bicker
Brouhaha, boulderdash, ballyhoo
It's only talk
Back talk
Talk talk talk, it's only talk
Comments, cliches, commentary, controversy
Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat,
Conversation, contradiction, criticism
It's only talk
Cheap talk
Talk, talk, it's only talk
Debates, discussions
These are words with a D this time
Dialogue, dualogue, diatribe,
Dissention, declamation
Double talk, double talk
Talk, talk, it's all talk
Too much talk
Small talk
Talk that trash
Expressions, editorials, expugnations, exclamations, enfadulations
It's all talk
Elephant talk, elephant talk, elephant talk
Arguments, agreements, advice, answers,
Articulate announcements
It's only talk
Babble, burble, banter, bicker bicker bicker
Brouhaha, boulderdash, ballyhoo
It's only talk
Back talk
Comments, cliches, commentary, controversy
Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat,
Conversation, contradiction, criticism
It's only talk
Cheap talk
Debates, discussions
These are words with a D this time
Dialogue, dualogue, diatribe,
Dissention, declamation
Double talk, double talk
Too much talk
Small talk
Talk that trash
Expressions, editorials, expugnations, exclamations, enfadulations
It's all talk
Elephant talk, elephant talk, elephant talk

Fictions, follies, forethoughts, formalities, fillers, fillers, fillers! Fallacies, fuming, freakouts, flourishes! It's ooooonly TALK! Gab, gossip, gags...(SOMEBODY STOP ME! IT'S INFECTIOUS! SAVE YOURSELVES!!!!)
Love that Belew guitar, he can make it sound like anything! (I actually bought his video and with a flanger learned how to do the rhino, elephant and seagulls). Love the lyrics, too.
The lyrics couldn't be more accurate. It's all just worthless drivel. If only more people understood that...
... half of my vocabulary's in there :)
No one else seems to have noticed the progression from using only as to only bs to only cs to only ds to only es (leading to elephant talk).
And yes, the guitar is cool, but Pink Floyd's is better in their song Echoes, where they get whale song.
no offense inpraiseoffolly, but it's not exactly something hard to see, especially due to the line "These are words with a D this time"
hahaha @ juniper_prism.. great song, KC were freakin creative
The word is balderdash. It is one word. Boulder dash is incorrect. Fix it please. You're not the 9nly site making this mistake.
