Текст песни The Elephant - Flanders , Swann
A
elephant's
life
is
tedious,
laborious
and
slow
I've
been
an
elephant
all
me
life
so
I
blooming
well
ought
to
know.
He
never
forgets
a
name
or
face
ooooh!
He
knows
his
way
from
place
to
place
ooooh!
Remembers
to
be
dutiful
And
when
to
push
and
when
to
pull
An
when
he's
dead
the
dealer
calls
And
buys
his
tusks
for
billiard
balls
ooooh!
And
all
because
an
elephant's
got
a
perfect
memory.
That
wasn't
the
life
for
me!
So
I'm
suffering
form
amnesia
My
mind's
a
perfect
blank!
Now
life
is
very
much
easier
Amnesia's
to
thank;
I'm
being
psychoanalysed,
I
lie
on
a
divan
And
flap
me
ears
and
try
to
look
a
barmy
as
I
can!
I'm
an
Introverted,
Elephocentric,
Hypochondriac,
And
I'll
stick
in
the
Elephant's
nursing
home
Till
I
get
me
memory
back!
I'm
suffering
from
Hysteria,
I
nearly
split
me
sides,
To
watch
the
others
get
wearier
Of
giving
children
rides;
I've
told
my
psychoanalyst
That
I'm
a
sacred
cow
I'd
like
to
carry
a
Howdah
But
I
can't
remember
how.
I'm
an
Introverted,
Elephocentric,
Hypochondriac,
And
I'll
stick
in
the
Elephant's
nursing
home
Till
I
get
me
memory
back!
I
suffer
from
Schizophrenia
It
comes
on
me
in
spells
Sometimes
I'm
King
of
Armenia
At
others
I'm
Orson
Welles.
I
tell
them
I'm
Napoleon
And
all
that
sort
of
bunk
They
never
guess
that
all
the
time
I'm
laughing
up
me
trunk!
I'm
an
Introverted
Elephocentric
Hypochondriac,
And
I'll
stick
in
the
Elephants'
nursing
home
Till
I
get
me
memory
back!
Tra-tiddle-tumty-tumty
tra-tiddletum!
Practising
me
trumpet
half
the
night,
Tra-tiddle-tumty-tumty
tra-tiddletum!
And
I'll
stick
in
the
Elephants'
nursing
home
Till
I
get
me
memory,
get
me
memory,
get
me
memory
back!
