A hungry young girl in a bed
ordered elefant, butter and bread.
[ 4][ 4]The breakfast, it came,
[ 4][ 4]but look - who's to blame -
when they put it on her, she was dead.
The elephant, who from New Delhi,
retold this sad tale on the telly.
[ 8]The studio host
[ 8]was moved the utmost,
morosely he then scratched his belly.
Another young girl in a bed
ordered elefant, butter and bread.
But the doctor said: diet
and for once she was quiet.
She kept living and lately was wed.
And an elephant girl in her bed
Was so plump and deliciously fat.
[ 4]She swam in the nile
[ 4]With the green crocodile
In the moonlight..., and tête á tête.
A hungry young girl in a bed
ordered elephant, butter and bread.
[ 4][ 4]The breakfast, it came,
[ 4][ 4]but look - who's to blame -
when they put it on her, she was dead.
A hungry young girl sat in bed,
Ordered elephant, butter and bread.
[ 4][ 4] The breakfast, it came,
[ 4][ 4] But look - who's to blame?
When they served it, she ended up dead.
