lyrics

Long flowing mane
Atop the grass
A streak of red
It happened fast
Draped o'er the hills
Savannah gold
The king is dead
Before he got old

The elephants sing
A requiem song
For our poor dead king
The notes never wrong
The elephants play
A nice little tune
In savannah heat
The king has been slewn

With colors gray
And tusks of white
And big as hell
Yeah large as life
With eyes so pure
And wrinkled skin
With trumpets raised up to the wind

A nice little tune
The elephants play
A requiem jam
The king has been slain
A nice little tune
The elephants hum
The king has been killed
Beneath the bright sun

And when you go
I'll sit around
Pick up my trumpet
Play a nice sound
Down by your grave
I'll sing it out
Just like an elephant
So very proud
(Just like an elephant's)
(I will not forget you's)
