Elephant's Foot - Maceo Parker

Wow!

killing the day not knowing what to do

I’m gonna get my friend and go to the zoo

We didn’t see an elephant or cage

Someone had put them all on the stage

There were lones and bones and all kinds of grhymes

You know those elephants wouldn’t stay in line

I said: I know just what they need

Let’s teach them all to do the Waymen reed

We practised and practised all day long

To teach these elephants the elephants song

They looked at us with tied lips

Just kep’on moving those big elephant hips

And elephant dancing is a thing to see

And that’s when I noticed they were looking at me

I said: come on, elephants, come on, let’s go

And that’s when one of them stepped on my toe

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Elephants stepped on my foot

Elephants stepped on my foot

Elephants stepped on my foot

Elephants stepped on my foot

You must give elephants a dirty look

I like to teach but I have my limits

Elephant dancing is a pretty good gimick

I looked at my wife, it was getting late

It was about time to open the gate

People came in to see the show

Someone said: Hey, look, there’s Maceo!

I said: Can I have your attention please

These elephants are about to dance you down to your knees

They walked, they grained and swayed all day

Startet thinking about after the show hey

I said: come on, it’s not time to eat

We got to get the crowd up off their feet

We got to keep going for a while yet

Gonna hip them all a out of dead

I said: anyway after this there’s another show

And again, same elephant same toe

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Elephants stepped on my foot

Elephants stepped on my foot

Elephants stepped on my foot

Elephants stepped on my foot

You must get worried for a dirty look

I know what I’ll do:

I’ll feet them some of this:

Elephants stepped on my foot

Elephants stepped on it.
