Effervescing Elephant (Barrett Syd)

		G G7  
An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk  
 
C C7  
once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear, you hear  
 
G  
that by next June he'd die, Oh yeah!  
 
D  
And the tiger would roam, the little one said,  
 
D7  
"Oh my goodness -- I must stay at home!  
 
G G7  
And every time I hear a growl, I'll know the tiger's on the prowl,  
 
C C7  
And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so."  
 
G  
Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah!  
 
D D7  
And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus  
 
G G7  
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food  
 
C  
and tended to ignore the word,  
 
C7 G  
referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison  
 
D  
Oh yeah! And all the jungle took fright,  
 
D7  
and ran around for all the day and the night,  
 
G  
But all in vain because, you see, the tiger came and said,  
 
G7 C  
"Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you --  
 
C G  
I much prefer something to chew, and you're all too scant."  
 
C D G  
Oh yeah! He ate the elephant.
