Engelbert The Elephant

In the style of

Tom Paxton

Lyrics

when the king and queen
decided they would have

a formal dance

invitations were delivered
and it happened

quite by chance

through an
oversight of someone

whose it was i can't recall

engelbert the elephant

was invited to the ball

what excitement in the jungle

what a holy hullabaloo

what a race to
find the costume

and to learn a step or two

you could feel
the jungle shaking

and i bet it's shaking yet

while engelbert
was learning how

to dance the minuet

all the palace
lamps were lighted

as the sun was going down

and the music of the orchestra

was heard across the town

the dance was
just beginning when

there came a mighty roar

your highness
there's an elephant

and he's standing by the door

then the guard turned
out from everywhere

they came from every place

to where engelbert
was standing

with a smile upon his face

he was dressed
in latest fashion

on his trunk he wore a ring

he presented his
invitation with

the seal of the king

so the soldiers formed
an escort and

they led him to the ball

where the orchestra stopped
playing and a hush

went through the hall

for the king and queen were
speechless and i'm sure

they're speechless now

engelbert the elephant

made a very lovely bow

then the queen began
to smile at him

the band began to play

and engelbert was dancing in

the very nicest way

the ladies were
delighted at the

way he turned and spun

and before the night
was over he had

danced with everyone

when they sat down to dinner

engelbert sat on the floor

he nibbled most politely

though he really wanted more

when the final dance
was called for

such a sight you'd never seen

for it was by
the royal command

he danced it with the queen

and when the ball was over

and the guests began to go

they escorted him to
the city gates

and he gave 'em quite a show

for the band had come
along with them and

the band began to play

and the dance he did along

the road is talked about today

yes they talked about the
dancing and you

know they're talking yet

of how engelbert the elephant
performed the minuet
