Effervescing Elephant (2010 Digital Remaster)-Syd Barrett

[00:28.257]An Effervescing Elephant [00:30.116]with tiny eyes and great big trunk [00:32.116]once whispered to the tiny ear [00:34.066]the ear of one inferior [00:35.546]that by next June he'd die, oh yeah! [00:38.406]because the tiger would roam. [00:40.194]The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home! [00:43.843]and every time I hear a growl [00:45.700]I'll know the tiger's on the prowl [00:47.794]and I'll be really safe, you know [00:49.675]the elephant he told me so." [00:51.533]Everyone was nervy, oh yeah! [00:54.014]and the message was spread [00:55.968]to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus [00:59.228]who wallowed in the mud and chewed [01:01.538]his spicy hippo-plankton food [01:03.607]and tended to ignore the word [01:04.958]preferring to survey a herd [01:07.423]of stupid water bison, oh yeah! [01:09.911]And all the jungle took fright, [01:11.922]and ran around for all the day and the night [01:15.032]but all in vain, because, you see, [01:16.641]the tiger came and said: "Who me?! [01:18.839]You know, I wouldn't hurt not one of you. [01:21.024]I'd much prefer something to chew [01:23.064]and you're all to scant." oh yeah! [01:25.575]He ate the Elephant
