Elephant Elephant Lyrics
Elephant (elephant)
Big and strong and gentle and intelligent (intelligent)
How could I feel blue
I've got my sister at my side
And an elephant-y ride
Elephant (elephant)
You're sad and in a cage
But that's irrelevant (irrelevant)
'Cause everyone gets jealous when they see me riding by
On a friend of such great size
Other kids have bikes
(That's true)
Or daddies pick them up from school
But that won't do for me, you understand (understand)
Other kids have horses
Other kids have dogs
Other kids have hamsters
Other kids have frogs
But the pet for me is something much more grand
And benevolent
And elegant
And, um
And I've got an
elephant, elephant
Riding on your back I'm in my element (element)
It's true and it's a fact that there's so much you can learn
When you're on a pakiderm
Oh, elephant (elephant)
My thoughts so bad swell of it
To give me such a friend
Oh, elephant (elephant)
I'm with you to the end
Elephant, elephant
I'm with you to the end
(Goodnight, elephant)
Big and strong and gentle and intelligent (intelligent)
How could I feel blue
I've got my sister at my side
And an elephant-y ride
You're sad and in a cage
But that's irrelevant (irrelevant)
'Cause everyone gets jealous when they see me riding by
On a friend of such great size
(That's true)
Or daddies pick them up from school
But that won't do for me, you understand (understand)
Other kids have dogs
Other kids have hamsters
Other kids have frogs
And benevolent
And elegant
And, um
elephant, elephant
Riding on your back I'm in my element (element)
It's true and it's a fact that there's so much you can learn
When you're on a pakiderm
My thoughts so bad swell of it
To give me such a friend
Oh, elephant (elephant)
I'm with you to the end
Elephant, elephant
I'm with you to the end

Oh my effin God ! Kickass song :D
I seriously hope they do more bits like this one.
actually, it's not: "My thoughts so bad swell of it", but "Life's not so bad, it's swell of it"
Every time I hear this song, in my head, I see Jason Webley with two ponytails in a conjoined twin suit with Amanda Palmer.
This line:
"My thoughts so bad swell of it To give me such a friend"
is actually this:
"Life's not so bad, it's swell-ivent To give me such a friend!"
Swell-ivent! :D
pretty good song. I love it! It's like a breather from dark and haunting songs like Sandy Fishnets. I love this album, it's one of my favourite albums of all time.
