Effervescing Elephant - Syd Barrett

An effervescing elephant

With tiny eyes, and great big trunk

Once whispered to the tiny ears

The ears of one inferior

That by next June he'd die, oh yeah!

Because the tiger would roam

And the little one said oh my goodness

I must stay at home

And every time I hear a growl

I'll know the tiger's on the prowl

but I'll be really safe you know

The elephant he told me so

And everyone was nervy, oh yeah!

And the message was spread

To zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus

Who wallowed in the mud and chewed

His spicy hippo plankton food

And tended to ignore the word

Preferring to survey a herd

Of stupid water bison, oh yeah!

And all the jungle took fright

And ran around for all the day and the night

But all in vain because you see

The tiger came and said who me,

You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you

I much prefer something to chew

and You're all too scant, oh yeah!

He ate the elephant
