Nellie the Elephant - Songs For Children

To Bombay a travelling circus came they brought an

Inteligent elephant and Nellie was her name

One dark night she slipped her iron chain

Off she ran to Hindustan

And was never seen again oooooo

Nellie the elephant pack her trunk

And said goodbye to the circus

Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk

And trundled out back the jungle

Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump

Night by night she danced to the circus band

When Nellie was leading the big parade

She looked so proud and grand

No more tricks for Nellie to perform

They taught her how to take a bow

And she took the crowd by storm

Nellie the elephant pack her trunk

And said goodbye to the circus

Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk

And trundled out back the jungle

Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump

The head of the herd was calling far far away

They met one night in the silver light

On the road to Mandalay ooooo

Nellie the elephant pack her trunk

And said goodbye to the circus

Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump
