Syd Barrett - Effervescing elephant

An ^Geffervescing elephant with ^G7tiny eyes and great big trunk once ^Cwhispered to the tiny ear, the ^C7ear of one in fear, you hear

that ^Gby next June he'd die, Oh yeah! And the tiger would ^Droam, the little one said,

"O^D7h my goodness -- I must stay at home! And ^Gevery time I hear a growl, I'll ^G7know the tiger's on the prowl,

And ^CI'll be really safe, you know, the e^C7lephant, he told me so." ^GEveryone was nervous, Oh yeah!

And the message was ^Dspread to zebra, mongoose and the d^D7irty hippopotamus who ^Gwallowed in the mud and chewed his ^G7spicy hippo-plankton food

and ^Ctended to ignore the word, ref^C7erring to a survey I heard of ^Gstupid water bison

Oh yeah! And all the jungle took ^Dfright, and ran around for all the ^D7day and the night,

But all in ^Gvain because, you see, the tiger came and said, "^G7;Who me' You kn^Cow I wouldn't hurt not one of you --

I ^Cmuch prefer something to chew, and ^Gyou're all too scant." Oh ^Cyeah! He ate the ^Delep^Ghant. -- "Is it not the rich who are exploiting you' Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court'" -- James 2:6 [NIV] ==================================================================== allen 'alley cat' lutins al2032@cnsunix.albany.edu
