《Effervescing Elephant (Take 2)》歌词

[00:00:00] Effervescing Elephant (Take 2) - Syd Barrett

[00:00:08] Effervescing elephant

[00:00:11] An effervescing elephant

[00:00:13] With tiny eyes and great big trunk

[00:00:15] Once whispered to the tiny ear

[00:00:17] The ear of one inferior

[00:00:18] That by next June he'd die oh yeah

[00:00:21] Because the tiger would roam

[00:00:23] The little one said

[00:00:24] Oh my goodness I must stay at home

[00:00:27] And every time I hear a growl

[00:00:29] I'll know the tiger's on the prowl

[00:00:31] But he will be really safe you know

[00:00:33] The elephant he told me so

[00:00:35] Everyone was nervy oh yeah

[00:00:37] And the message twipread

[00:00:39] To zebra mongoose and the dirty hippopotamus

[00:00:42] Who wallowed in the mud and chewed

[00:00:44] His spicy hippo plankton food

[00:00:47] And tended to ignore the word

[00:00:49] Preferring to survey a herd

[00:00:51] Of stupid water bison oh yeah

[00:00:54] And all the jungle took fright

[00:00:56] And ran around for all the day and the night

[00:00:59] But all in vain because you see

[00:01:01] The tiger came and said who me

[00:01:03] You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you

[00:01:06] Much prefer something to chew

[00:01:08] And you're all too scant oh yeah

[00:01:11] He ate the elephant
