The Elephant Song

Tell me said the elephant
 Tell me brothers if you can
 Why all the world is full of creatures
 Yet we grow in fear of man
 Tell me said the elephant
 tell me why this has to be
 we have to run from man and hunter
 never safe and never free

 refrain:

 -people kill without regret
 although they fly by jumbo-jet
 let the word all may remember
 let the children not forget.

 Gentle is the elephant
 Pulling loads and everything
 we love to hear the children laughing
 when we,re in the circus-ring
 Happy was the elephant
 Happy was his jungle life
 and then they came, the cruel hunters
 with their rifle and their knives

 refrain:...

 Listen, please listen, said the elephant
 if we want the world we know, to stay alife
 Then man and beast, we must work together
 And together we will survive

 Listen said the elephant
 It is conservation time
 So take the warning when we trumpet
 For the future of mankind

 refrain..
