Elephant Boy Lyrics


elephant boy

one school with a very odd pupil

one zoo with a very strange attraction

here's a grey tale

of elephant boy

little Tommy Green he was my mate at school

we used to skive off school every thursday afternoon

oh, little Tommy Green, he had black eyes of coal

had a mammoth task integrating with society

me and Tommy Green we were eating peanuts

that was when i noticed that he had the head of an

elephant AARRGGHH shot with blow dart

captured by scientists and never seen again

elephant boy is bigger than life

part elephant, part human boy, geneticists,

made it go wrong with their science misadventures

I got a job cleaning cages at the zoo

my main responsibility to disinfect the floors

one day i heard a voice, twas my old friend Tommy Green

and much to my surprise he had human head

oh, me and Tommy Green we were eating peanuts

that was when i noticed that he had the body of an

elephant AARRGGHH shot with blow dart

re-captured by scientists and never seen again

elephant boy is covered in jam

part elephant, part human boy, geneticists,

made it go wrong with their science misadventures

one lab with a mighty big bin bag

one graveyard with a very small grave
