To Bombay

a travelling 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

Ooooh.....

Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk

and said goodbye

to the circus

Off she went

with a trumpety trump

trump, trump, trump

now Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk and

trundled off to the jungle

Off she went

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

the crowd by storm

Ooooh.....

Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk

and said goodbye

to the circus

Off she went

with a trumpety trump

trump, trump, trump

now Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk and

trundled off to the jungle

Off she went

with a trumpety trump

trump, trump, trump

Now Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk and

said goodbye to the circus

off she went

with a trumpety trump

trump, trump, trump

Now Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk and

trundled off to the jungle

off she went

with a trumpety trump

trump, trump, trump

The head of the

heard was calling

far, far away

they met one night

in the silver light

on the road to Mandalay...

Oooooooh.....

Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk

and said goodbye

to the circus

Off she went

with a trumpety trump

trump, trump, trump

Now Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk and

trundled off to the jungle

off she went

with a trumpety trump

trump, trump, trump

Now Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk and

said goodbye to the circus

off she went

with a trumpety trump

trump, trump, trump

Now Nellie the elephant

packed her trunk and

trundled off to the jungle

off she went

with a trumpety trump

trump... trump... trump.....
