  EFFERVESCING ELEPHANT -- Syd Barrett

  

     G                          G7

  An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk

  

       C                              C7

  once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear, you hear

  

       G 

  that by next June he'd die, Oh yeah!

  

                      D

  And the tiger would roam, the little one said,

  

         D7

  "Oh my goodness -- I must stay at home!

  

      G                               G7

  And every time I hear a growl, I'll know the tiger's on the prowl,

  

      C                                   C7

  And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so."

  

  G

  Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah!

  

                      D                                  D7

  And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus

  

      G                                  G7

  who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food

  

      C 

  and tended to ignore the word, 

  

     C7                            G

  referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison

  

                                    D

  Oh yeah!  And all the jungle took fright, 

  

                             D7

  and ran around for all the day and the night,

  

             G

  But all in vain because, you see, the tiger came and said,

  

       G7              C

  "Who me?  You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you --

  

    C                                  G

  I much prefer something to chew, and you're all too scant."

  

     C                 D   G

  Oh yeah!  He ate the elephant.

    who are dragging you into court?"              -- James 2:6 [NIV]
