Elephant Song

Very, very nice said a man in the crowd
As the elephant jumped through a hoop
Who asked you the elephant cried
As he stood and took a bow
Well it's not everyday you see something like
that and I thought it was jolly good

How do you know the elephant said
You're a man
And a fat one at that

Very, very nice said a man in the crowd
And the golden voice appeared
She was gold but didn't like to rust
Such a shame about her beard
How dare you say things like that it said
You ought to be ashamed
He was
But I thought your voice was pretty good
And the beard is good for a goat

Very, very nice said the same man in the crowd 
He wasn't an elephant because he was fat
He was only someone said with words
And I looked around with eyes
There it's the peanut bride gooseing the aisle
Her leather back towards the orchestra
What you'd want, love
She said to a man
A fourpenny please and a sickening back

Very, very nice said a man in the crowd
As they smelt his peanut teeth
Would you like some
I said, yes please

We all had one tooth each
By now, of course, the second half had started
Let all warm our hands
Said aloud, my feet aren't cold
Said sheep skin gloves
Ah but we're betting on the artist
