    G                            C
The movie wasn't really doing so hot

         D                           G
said the new producer to the old big shot

     G                              C
it's dying on the edge of the great Midwest

  D                       G
Sabu must tour or forever rest
[Chorus]
G
Hey look ma
here comes the elephant boy
C
bundled all up in his corduroy

D
headed down south towards Illinois

                             G
from the jungles of East St. Paul
[Verse 2]
G                              C
His manager sat in the office alone

D                                 G
staring at the numbers on the telephone

G                                      C
wondering how a man could send a child actor

   D                                   G
to visit in the land of the wind chill factor
[Chorus]
G
Hey look ma
here comes the elephant boy

bundled all up in his corduroy

headed down south towards Illinois

                             G
from the jungles of East St. Paul

  G                          C
Sabu was sad, the whole tour stunk

    D                            G
the airlines lost the elephant's trunk

    G                                             C
the roadie got the rabies and the scabies and the flu

         D                                   G
they was low on morale but they was high on
[Chorus]

here comes the elephant boy

from the jungles of East St. Paul

         D                   G
from the jungles of East St. Paul
