SOL SOL7
An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk
DO DO7
once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear, you hear
SOL
that by next June he'd die, Oh yeah!
RE
And the tiger would roam, the little one said,
RE7
"Oh my goodness -- I must stay at home!
SOL SOL7
And every time I hear a growl, I'll know the tiger's on the prowl,
DO DO7
And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so."
SOL
Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah!
RE RE7
And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus
SOL SOL7
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food
DO
and tended to ignore the word,
DO7 SOL
referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison
RE
Oh yeah! And all the jungle took fright,
RE7
and ran around for all the day and the night,
SOL
But all in vain because, you see, the tiger came and said,
SOL7 DO
"Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you --
DO SOL
I much prefer something to chew, and you're all too scant."
DO RE SOL
Oh yeah! He ate the elephant.

"Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones
who are dragging you into court?"
