Elephants - Elephants
When your mind is bent,
And your money’s spent;
Your luck up and went
And you need to vent;
When you want things done,
Don’t pull out a gun;
Just like Hal(i)burton
You can have your fun.
Just call for those . . . -
Elephants - Elephants.
Pink Elephants, White Elephants,
Pour me a drink, I don’t care what they spent
On those Elephants.
Well they’re in the room
And they’re in the House.
Go to bust from boom,
Making deals like Faust.
So when you’re in a funk
And your hope is sunk,
No need to get drunk,
Just pack up your trunk
. . . and get with those . . .
Elephants - Elephants.
Pink Elephants, White Elephants,
Pour me a drink, I don’t care what they meant
By those Elephants
Gee, I don’t know sometimes.
Oh, should I compromise?
People tell me that it’s all about the dough.
Got stuck inside my head.
Too like my father said.
My baby says I gotta let it go.
But not without those Elephants.
Elephants - Elephants.
Pink Elephants, White Elephants,
Pour me a drink and get off my Elephant
What the Hell, Elephants.
Keep your family fed,
As you make your bed.
People tell me that I gotta let it go.
