Elephant Song
[Verse 1]
"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 every day 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!"
[Verse 2]
"Very, very, nice", said a man in the crowd, when the golden voice appeared
She was gold alright, but then so is rust; "Such a shame about the 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 that beard is good for a goat!"
[Verse 3]
"Very, very, nice", said the same man in the crowd, the one the elephant said was fat
"He was all nyet," someone said with words and I looked around, with eyes
Oh, it's the peanut bride goosing the aisle, her leather back towards the orchestra
"What do you want, love?" she said to a man
"A fourpenny, please, and a sixpenny bag!"
[Verse 4]
"Very, very, nice", said a man in the crowd, as I smelled 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’s all warm our hands", said aloud
"My feet aren't cold as in sheepskin gloves, ah but we're burning all the artists!"
[Spoken word outro: Just George, Part 2]
I know a man and his name is George
A man and his name is George, I know
And his name is George, I know a man
Is George I know a man and his name?
