To Bombay, a traveling circus came
They brought an intelligent elephant
And Nellie was her name
One dark night
She slipped her iron chain
And off she ran
To Hindustan
And was never seen again...
Oooooooooooooooooo...
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and
Said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump! Trump! Trump!
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And trundled off to the jungle
Off she rode 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
To crowd by storm...
Oooooooooooooooooo...
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and
Said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump! Trump! Trump!
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And trundled of to the jungle
Of she road with a trumpety trump
Trump! Trump! Trump!
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and
Said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump! Trump! Trump!
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And trundled of to the jungle
Of she road with a trumpety trump
Trump! Trump! Trump!
The head of the heard was calling
Far far away
They meet one night in silver light
On the road to Mandalay!
Oooooooooooooooooo...
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and
Said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump! Trump! Trump!
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And trundled off to the jungle
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump! Trump! Trump!
