Mark Lee Townsend - Elephant Parade lyrics

(Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade) (Hip hip hooray for the elephants on parade) [Verse 1] Take the gist of it and twist it 'Til it makes you smile And don't be scared if there's a snare Sometimes it takes a while There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth Don't you try to think about it No way to talk about it [Pre-Chorus] And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed It bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away I want to hold and nurture every second of this life That has been given to me Even though limitedly [Chorus] Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh My my, been a long time comin' home Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your hip Hip hooray for the elephants on parade [Verse 2] You're preaching to the chorus Line alright for this whole time And I'm fine if I can Tell a lie about the minor crimes I won't try to justify the reason why I think that I'll never die is so preposterous It's like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade They're gonna trample themselves They're gonna trample themselves [Chorus] Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh My my, been a long time comin' home Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your hip Hip hooray for the elephants on parade [Bridge] I got the feeling that I wanna be alone with you And I got the feeling that you Might want to be alone with me too Take a finger and snap, just like that And I had to say hey baby let's go And make it home for our show Simple defragmentation gets us to the point at last But no relaxing 'til they give us all our memory back Touché Take it all out of order anyway They can always make you pay up And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed It bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away I want to hold and nurture every second of this life That has been given to me Even though limitedly Like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade Hip hooray for the elephants on parade Take the gist of it and twist it 'til it makes you smile And don't be scared if there's a snare Sometimes it takes a while There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth Don't you try to think about it Ain't no way to talk about it And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed It bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away I want to hold and nurture every second of this life That has been given to me Even though limitedly Jackrabbits, snake pit runnin' oh My my been a long time coming Jackrabbits, snake pit running Hip-hip Hooray for the elephants on parade
