Effervescing Elephant (Take 2) - Syd Barrett[00:00:00]
Effervescing elephant[00:00:08]
An effervescing elephant[00:00:11]
With tiny eyes and great big trunk[00:00:13]
Once whispered to the tiny ear[00:00:15]
The ear of one inferior[00:00:17]
That by next June he'd die oh yeah[00:00:18]
Because the tiger would roam[00:00:21]
The little one said[00:00:23]
Oh my goodness I must stay at home[00:00:24]
And every time I hear a growl[00:00:27]
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl[00:00:29]
But he will be really safe you know[00:00:31]
The elephant he told me so[00:00:33]
Everyone was nervy oh yeah[00:00:35]
And the message twipread[00:00:37]
To zebra mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus[00:00:39]
Who wallowed in the mud and chewed[00:00:42]
His spicy hippo plankton food[00:00:44]
And tended to ignore the word[00:00:47]
Preferring to survey a herd[00:00:49]
Of stupid water bison oh yeah[00:00:51]
And all the jungle took fright[00:00:54]
And ran around for all the day and the night[00:00:56]
But all in vain because you see[00:00:59]
The tiger came and said who me[00:01:01]
You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you[00:01:03]
Much prefer something to chew[00:01:06]
And you're all too scant oh yeah[00:01:08]
He ate the elephant[00:01:11]
