《Engelbert the Elephant》歌词

[00:00:00] Engelbert The Elephant - Deja Vu (似曾相识)

[00:00:04] When the King and Queen decided

[00:00:05] They would have a formal dance

[00:00:07] Invitations they were issued

[00:00:09] And it happened quite by chance

[00:00:11] Through an oversight of someone

[00:00:13] (who it was I can't recall)

[00:00:15] That Engelbert the Elephant

[00:00:17] Was invited to the ball

[00:00:21] What excitement in the jungle

[00:00:22] What a holy hullabaloo

[00:00:24] What a race to find a costume

[00:00:26] And to learn a step or two

[00:00:28] You could hear the jungle shaking

[00:00:29] And I bet it's shaking yet

[00:00:31] While Engelbert was learning

[00:00:33] How to dance the Minuet

[00:00:37] All the palace lamps were lighted

[00:00:39] As the sun was going down

[00:00:41] And the music of the orchestra was heard across the town

[00:00:45] The dance was just beginning

[00:00:46] When there came a mighty roar

[00:00:48] 'Your Highness there's an elephant

[00:00:50] And he's standing at the door '

[00:00:54] Then the guards turned out from everywhere

[00:00:56] They came from every place

[00:00:58] To where Engelbert was standing with a smile upon his face

[00:01:01] He was dressed in latest fashion

[00:01:03] On his trunk he wore a ring

[00:01:05] He presented his invitation

[00:01:06] With the seal of the King

[00:01:11] So the soldiers formed an escort

[00:01:12] And they led him to the ball

[00:01:14] Where the orchestra stopped playing

[00:01:16] And a hush went through the hall

[00:01:18] Though the King and Queen were speechless

[00:01:20] And I'm sure they're speechless now

[00:01:22] For Engelbert the Elephant

[00:01:23] Made a very lovely bow

[00:01:28] Then the Queen began to smile at him

[00:01:30] The band began to play

[00:01:31] And Engelbert was dancing in the very nicest way

[00:01:35] The ladies were delighted at the way

[00:01:37] He turned and spun

[00:01:38] And before the night was over

[00:01:40] He had danced with every one

[00:01:45] When the guests sat down to dinner

[00:01:46] Engelbert sat on the floor

[00:01:48] He nibbled most politely

[00:01:49] (though he really wanted more )

[00:01:51] When the final dance was called for

[00:01:53] Such a sight you've never seen

[00:01:55] For it was by the Royal Command

[00:01:57] He danced it with the Queen

[00:02:01] And when the ball was over

[00:02:03] And the guests began to go

[00:02:05] They escorted him to the city gates

[00:02:07] And gave him quite a show

[00:02:08] For the band had come along with him

[00:02:10] And they began to play

[00:02:12] And the dance he did along

[00:02:13] The way is talked about today

[00:02:15] Yes they talk about the dancer man - you know

[00:02:18] They're talking yet

[00:02:19] Of how Engelbert the Elephant

[00:02:20] Performed the Minuet
