The Elephant - Flanders & Swann[00:00:00]
A elephant's life is tedious laborious and slow[00:00:05]
I've been an elephant all me life so I blooming well ought to know [00:00:11]
He never forgets a name or face ooooh [00:00:19]
He knows his way from place to place ooooh [00:00:23]
Remembers to be dutiful[00:00:27]
And when to push and when to pull[00:00:29]
An when he's dead the dealer calls[00:00:32]
And buys his tusks for billiard balls ooooh [00:00:34]
And all because an elephant's got a perfect memory [00:00:40]
That wasn't the life for me [00:00:46]
So I'm suffering form amnesia[00:00:48]
My mind's a perfect blank [00:00:53]
Now life is very much easier[00:00:55]
Amnesia's to thank;[00:00:57]
I'm being psychoanalysed [00:00:59]
I lie on a divan[00:01:01]
And flap me ears and try to look a barmy as I can [00:01:03]
I'm an Introverted Elephocentric Hypochondriac [00:01:08]
And I'll stick in the Elephant's nursing home[00:01:14]
Till I get me memory back [00:01:16]
I'm suffering from Hysteria [00:01:21]
I nearly split me sides [00:01:23]
To watch the others get wearier[00:01:25]
Of giving children rides;[00:01:27]
I've told my psychoanalyst[00:01:29]
That I'm a sacred cow[00:01:31]
I'd like to carry a Howdah[00:01:33]
But I can't remember how [00:01:35]
I'm an Introverted Elephocentric Hypochondriac [00:01:39]
And I'll stick in the Elephant's nursing home[00:01:43]
Till I get me memory back [00:01:45]
I suffer from Schizophrenia[00:01:51]
It comes on me in spells[00:01:53]
Sometimes I'm King of Armenia[00:01:55]
At others I'm Orson Welles [00:01:57]
I tell them I'm Napoleon[00:01:59]
And all that sort of bunk[00:02:01]
They never guess that all the time[00:02:03]
I'm laughing up me trunk [00:02:05]
I'm an Introverted Elephocentric Hypochondriac [00:02:08]
And I'll stick in the Elephants' nursing home[00:02:13]
Till I get me memory back [00:02:15]
Tra-tiddle-tumty-tumty tra-tiddletum [00:02:19]
Practising me trumpet half the night [00:02:22]
Tra-tiddle-tumty-tumty tra-tiddletum [00:02:25]
And I'll stick in the Elephants' nursing home[00:02:29]
Till I get me memory get me memory get me memory back[00:02:31]
