The Elephant Song lyrics by Kamahl
Artist: KamahlTitle: The Elephant Song
==================================
Tell me said the elephant
Tell me brothers, if you can
Why all the world is full of creatures
yet we go in fear of man
Tell me said the elephant
Tell me why this has to be
We have to run
from man the hunter
never safe and never free
People kill without regret
although they fly by Jumbo jet
Let the world of man remember
Let the children not forget
Gentle is the elephant
pulling loads and every thing
We love to hear the children laughing
when we're in the circus ring
Happy was the elephant
Happy was his jungle life
but then there came
the cruel hunters
with their rifles and their knives
People kill without regret
although they fly by Jumbo jet
Let the world of man remember
Let the children not forget
================================
Listen, please listen, said the elephant
If we want the world we know to stay alive
Then man and beast, we must work together
And together then we will survive
=================================
Listen said the elephant
It is conservation time
So take the warning
when we trumpet
for the future of mankind
People kill without regret
although they fly by Jumbo jet
Let the world of man remember
Let the children not forget
Listen said the elephant
It is conservation time
So take the warning
when we trumpet
for the future of mankind
