Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, he feels like an elephant

Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it

He knows that you're dreaming about being loved by him

Too bad your chances are slim

[Verse 2]

And it's not like Mr. Shuck

To get shy when they ask him who is on top

There must be something deep down in the dark down there

He's not too easily scared

[Verse 3]

He's got friends, but they got the fear

Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared

Oh look, hey, there he is now coming down the stairs

Here he comes...

[Verse 4]

He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac (Yeah)

'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back

He talks like his opinion is a simple fact

[Verse 5]

Somebody grabbed his collar

He cried the whole way home

No one remembered a thing when they saw him again

That's how it is till the end

Yeah
