Nellie the Elephant

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Interlude] Oooooooooooooooooo... [Chorus:] Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump, trump, trump Now, Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And trundled off to the jungle Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump, trump, trump [Verse 2] Night by night she danced to the circus band When 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 [Interlude] Oooooooooooooooooo... [Chorus] Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump, trump, trump Now, Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And trundled off to the jungle Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump, trump, trump Ai, go! [Chorus] Now, Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump, trump, trump Now, Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And trundled off to the jungle Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump, trump, trump [Bridge] The head of the herd was calling far far away They met one night in silver light On the road to Mandalay [Interlude] Oooooooooooooooooo... [Chorus] Dai, Zee Oh Ee dai [?] Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump, trump, trump Now, Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And trundled off to the jungle Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump, trump, trump [Chorus] Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump, trump, trump Now, Nellie the elephant packed her trunk And trundled off to the jungle Off she went with a trumpety trump Trump! Trump! Trump!
