Effervescing Elephant (Syd Barrett - Barrett)


From: al2032@csc.albany.edu (allen lutins)

EFFERVESCING ELEPHANT -- Syd Barrett

G G7
An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk

C C7
once whispered to the tiny ear, the ear of one in fear, you hear

G
that by next June he'd die, Oh yeah!

D
And the tiger would roam, the little one said,

D7
"Oh my goodness -- I must stay at home!

G G7
And every time I hear a growl, I'll know the tiger's on the prowl,

C C7
And I'll be really safe, you know, the elephant, he told me so."

G
Everyone was nervous, Oh yeah!

D D7
And the message was spread to zebra, mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus

G G7
who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food

C
and tended to ignore the word,

C7 G
referring to a survey I heard of stupid water bison

D
Oh yeah! And all the jungle took fright,

D7
and ran around for all the day and the night,

G
But all in vain because, you see, the tiger came and said,

G7 C
"Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you --

C G
I much prefer something to chew, and you're all too scant."

C D G
Oh yeah! He ate the elephant.
