| Nellie The Elephant 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.. oooooo Nellie the elephant pack her trunk and said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump. Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trundled off to the jungle Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump. The head of the herd was calling from far far away They met one night in the silver light on the road to Mandalay... Night by night she danced to the circus band When Nellie was leading the big parad 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.. oooooo |
