Nellie the Elephant

To Bombay A travelling circus king 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 Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump trump trump So Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trundled back to the jungle Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump trump trump The head of the heard was calling Far far away They met one night in the silver light on the road to Manalay So Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump trump trump Night by night She danced with the circus band And Nellie was leading 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 So Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump trump trump So Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trundled back to the jungle Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump trump trump The head of the heard was calling Far far away They met one night in the silver light on the road to Manalay So Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump Trump Trump
