Nellie The Elephant - The Toy Dolls 1983

 

Maybe we all need a bit of Nellie in our lives ... back when fun was available without question Toy Dolls classic


'Nellie the Elephant!'

The Toy Dolls


Artist: Toy Dolls

Released: 1983

Album: Dig That Groove Baby





To Bombay a traveling 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


(Chorus)

Ooooooooh

Nellie the elephant pack 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 herd was calling far far away

They met one night in the silver light

On the road to Mandalay

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


(Chorus)

Ooooooooh

Nellie the elephant pack 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
