Elephant's Foot Lyrics


Maceo Parker Elephant's Foot


Wow! killing the day not knowing what to do
im gonna get my friend and go to the zoo
we didnt see an elephant or cage
someone had put them all on the stage

There were lones and bones and all kinds of grhymes
you know those elephants wouldnt stay in line
I said: I know just what they need
lets teach them all to do the Waymen reed

We practised and practised all day long
to teach these elephants the elephants song
they looked at us with tied lips
just kepon moving those big elephant hips

and elephant dancing is a thing to see
and thats when I noticed they were looking at me
I said: come on, elephants, come on, lets go
and thats when one of them stepped on my toe

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
elephants stepped on my foot,
elephants stepped on my foot,
elephants stepped on my foot,
elephants stepped on my foot,
...

you must give elephants a dirty look

I like to teach but I have my limits
elephant dancing is a pretty good gimick
I looked at my wife, it was getting late
it was about time to open the gate

people came in to see the show
someone said: Hey, look, theres Maceo!
I said: Can I have your attention please,
these elephants are about to dance you down to your
knees

they walked, they grained and swayed all day
startet thinking about after the show hey
I said: come on, its not time to eat
we got to get the crowd up off their feet

we got to keep going for a while yet
gonna hip them all a out of dead
I said: anyway after this theres another show
and again, same elephant same toe

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
elephants stepped on my foot,
elephants stepped on my foot,
elephants stepped on my foot,
elephants stepped on my foot,
...

you must get worried for a dirty look

I know what Ill do:
Ill feet them some of this:

solo

elephants stepped on my foot,
...

elephants stepped on it..
