Nelly The Elephant Lyrics

	


To Bombay 
A travelling circus came 
They brought an intelegent elephant 
and Nellie was her name 

One dark night 
she slipt her iron chain, and of she ran 
to Hindustan and was never seen again 

oooooooooooooooooo... 
Nellie the elephant pack her trunk and 
said goodbye to the circus 
of she road with a trumety trump 
trump trump trump 

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk 
and trumbled of to the jungle 
of she road with a thrumety trump 
trump trump trump 

Night by night she danced to the circus band 
When Nellie was leading the big parade she looked 
so proud and grand 

No more tricks for Nellie to performe 
They taught her how to take a bow and she tooked 
to crowd by storm 

oooooooooooooooooo... 
Nellie the elephant pack her trunk and 
said goodbye to the circus 
of she road with a trumety trump 
trump trump trump 

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk 
and trumbled of to the jungle 
of she road with a thrumety trump 
trump trump trump 

The head of the heard was calling far far away 
they meet one night in silver light 
on the road to Mandaley 

oooooooooooooooooo... 
Nellie the elephant pack her trunk and 
said goodbye to the circus 
of she road with a trumety trump 
trump trump trump 

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk 
and trumbled of to the jungle 
of she road with a thrumety trump 
trump trump trump

What I like about this song is that Nellie is leaving a circus and returning to her proper habitat. Good to hear.
