Somebody made off with my favourite toy
That I bought with my government grant
The world situation seems to be taking
A definite turn for the worse
Somebody put me in reverse
What fence would hold my pride and joy
Unless he was a man-eating plant
That mother is asking to wind up basking
In fame in the back of a hearse
Somebody made my bubble burst
Call in the guard, he's out in the yard
Been lax in his duties for real
Take him to task for being so crass
As to let someone in who would steal
Great thrills are in store for us all
While the world is on such a slant
Though he's a bit funky
The girls love his trunk
He's a hit without deodorant
But somebody stole my elephant
If you should meet him please give me a call
The number is inscribed on the bathroom wall
You're bound to see him
At the beach or the be-in
Even though some people can't
Get used to believing in elephants
Call in the guard
He's out in the yard
He bungled this job up for sure
He blew it in style
But he's just a child
We'll send him away for the cure
And we'll all go away for a cure
