about

Elephants weren't made for our pleasure.

Shout out to Henry Mancini, whose "Baby Elephant Walk" badly needed updating.

lyrics

Elephas maximus

I spy a herd, a lumbering herd of...elephas maximus
I said I spy a herd, a thundering herd of...elephas maximus

(break)

Mind like a diamond
Memories never die
Gonna liberate all the children
Who labor in your min--

"I've got strut, I've got stride
I've got swagger, I got pride
From Africa to India...Nepal
Sumatra...Borneo...

I've got strut, I've got stride
I've got swagger, I got pride
Matriarchal...grandiose....massiv...
Elephas läuft!!"

(break)

Elephas maximus
Elephas maximus

(solo)

"Make no mistake...if Mr Poacherman come, I run
If Don Jr., Jared, and their buddies go on safari
Me and my homies, well, we'll stampede

So friends, don't take your kids to the big show under the tent
We weren't made for doing tricks or your entertainment
In fact the more I think about it...
Y'all can stick those Big Tent tix where the sun don't shine!"
