  Subject: Lyrics to Nellie the Elephant

  

  To Bombay

  A travelling circus came

  They brought an intelligent elephant

  And Nellie was her name

  One dark night

  She slipped her iron chain

  And off she ran to Hindustan

  And was never seen again

  

  Whoa (NOTE: this accompanies an upswing in tempo)

  [CHORUS]

  Nellie the elephant

  Packed her trunk

  And said goodbye to the circus

  Off she ran

  With a tropply trop, trop trop trop

  Now Nellie the elephant

  Packer her trunk

  And trumbled off to the jungle

  Off she ran

  With a tropply trop, trop trop trop

  

  Night by night

  She danced to the circus band

  When Nellie led the big parade

  She looked so proud and grand

  No more tricks

  For Nellie to perform

  They taught her how to take a bow

  And she took the crowd by storm

  

  Whoa

  [CHORUS]

  

  And everyone heard the story

  Far far away

  And then one night in silver light

  They're off to Mandolay

  [Not sure about the above section]

  

  Whoa

  [CHORUS]

  

  Go to (Toledo?)

  

  [CHORUS]

  

  

  That's it.  I got these from the Toy Dolls' version, I believe.  I recorded

  it from Dr. Demento four or five years ago (maybe more).  If anyone knows the

  messed up parts, please correct me.
