The Elephant Song Lyrics

The Elephant Song lyrics

The Elephant Song 



Tell me said the elephant 

Tell me
brothers if you can 

Why all the world is full of creatures 

Yet we
grow in fear of man 

Tell me said the elephant 

tell me why this has
to be 

we have to run from man and hunter 

never safe and never free




refrain: 



-people kill without regret 

although
they fly by jumbo-jet 

let the word all may remember 

let the
children not forget. 



Gentle is the elephant 

Pulling loads
and everything 

we love to hear the children laughing 

when we,re
in the circus-ring 

Happy was the elephant 

Happy was his jungle
life 

and then they came, the cruel hunters 

with their rifle and
their knives 



refrain:... 



Listen, please listen,
said the elephant 

if we want the world we know, to stay alife 

Then man and beast, we must work together 

And together we will
survive 



Listen said the elephant 

It is conservation time


So take the warning when we trumpet 

For the future of mankind 



refrain..
