- Two instrumental verse lines-
The (C)movie wasn't really doing so (Dm)hot,
Said the (G)new producer to the (G7)old big (C)shot.
It´s dying on the edge of the great Mid(Dm)west,
Sa(G)bu must tour or for(G7)ever (C)rest.
Hey look, ma, here comes the elephant boy,
(F)Bundled all up in his corduroy,
(G)Headed down south towards Illinois,
From the (F)jungles of (G)East St. (C)Paul.
His manager sat in the office a(Dm)lone,
(G)Staring at the numbers on the (G7)tele(C)phone,
Wondering how a man could send a child (Dm)actor
To (G)visit in the land of the (G7)wind chill (C)factor.
Hey look, ma, here comes the elephant boy,
(F)Bundled all up in his corduroy,
(G)Headed down south towards Illinois,
From the (F)jungles of (G)East St. (C)Paul.
- Instrumental verse -
Sabu was sad, the whole tour (Dm)stunk,
The (G)airline´s lost the (G7)elephant's (C)trunk.
The roadie got the rabies and the scabies and the (Dm)flu,
They were (G)low on morale but they were (G7)high on.glue.(C)
Hey look, ma, here comes the elephant boy,
(F)Bundled all up in his corduroy,
(G)Headed down south towards Illinois,
From the (F)jungles of (G)East St. (C)Paul,
From the (F)jungles of (G)East St. (C)Paul,
From the (F)jungles of (G)East St. (C)Paul.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
