Nellie the Elephant Lyrics

To Bombay
A travelling circus came
They brought an intelligent elephant and Nellie was her name one dark night
She slipt her iron chain and off she ran to Hindustan and was never seen again

Oooooooooooooooooo...Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpeter trump trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunkand trumbled of to the jungle
Off she rode with a trumpeter trump trump trump trump

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 to crowd by storm

Oooooooooooooooooo...Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpeter trump trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trumbled of to the jungle
Off she rode with a trumpeter trump trump trump trump

The head of the heard was calling far far away they meet one night in silver light
On the road to Mandaley

Oooooooooooooooooo...Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpeter trump trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trumbled of to the jungle
Off she rode with a trumpeter trump trump trump trump (2 mal)
