Elephant`s Memory Mongoose Lyrics

Mongoose Lyrics

In the village 

 Of the jungle 

 Lies a body 

 Cold and dead 

 For the venom 

 Of the cobra 

 Has gone in 

 The body dead 

 Rock and hill 

 A little girl 

 As she cries 

 All around 

 For the snake 

 Has killed the father 

 Tell me where it 

 Can be found 

 MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! 

 Then all the people 

 Sound the drums 

 Call the mongoose 

 From his lair 

 Through the jungle 

 He flies alone 

 To a tunnel 

 On a hill 

 In the dark 

 The cobra waits 

 And his eyes 

 Glow red 

 Like a flash 

 Comes the mongoose 

 For the battle 

 Head to head 

 MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! 

 Said the mongoose 

 To the cobra 

 "See that panther 

 In that tree" 

 As the cobra 

 Turned its head 

 Mongoose caught it 

 In his teeth 

 Then the people 

 Started singing 

 For the snake 

 Killed them all 

 Cobra eggs 

 Now are hatching 

 Baby cobras 

 Back for more! 

 MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! 

 MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! 

 MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! 

 MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! 

 MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! MONGOOSE! 

 (fade...finally!
