     Ab                 Eb        Gm    Cm   Eb   Ab   Eb
(Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade)

     Ab                 Eb        G
(Hip hip hooray for the elephants on parade)
[Verse 1]
Am
   Take the gist of it and twist it

                     Eb
'Til it makes you smile
And don't be scared if there's a snare Sometimes it takes a while
G
There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth

     Ab
Don't you try to think about it
No way to talk about it [Pre-Chorus]
Am                                                       Eb
   And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed
Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away
G                                               Ab
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life
That has been given to me Even though limitedly [Chorus]
Cm                   Eb
   Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh

Ab            Eb                       Ab
My my, been a long time comin' home

           Eb         G           Cm
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul

                     Eb
Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now

    Ab                   Eb
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your

    Ab                 Eb        Gm
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade
[Verse 2]
Am
   You're preaching to the chorus
Line alright for this whole time
    Eb
And I'm fine if I can
Tell a lie about the minor crimes
G
I won't try to justify the reason why

Ab
I think that I'll never die is so preposterous

    Am                                               Eb
It's like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain
Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane
G                                           Ab
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade
They're gonna trample themselves They're gonna trample themselves [Chorus]
Cm                   Eb
   Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh

Ab            Eb                       Ab
My my, been a long time comin' home

           Eb         G           Cm
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul

                     Eb
Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now

    Ab                   Eb
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your

    Ab                 Eb        G     C
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade
[Bridge]
G                
  I got the feeling that I wanna be alone with you

    Cm7
And I got the feeling that you

      Eb                            Cm
Might want to be alone with me too
Take a finger and snap, just like that
      Eb
And I had to say hey baby let's go

F
And make it home for our show

G
Simple defragmentation gets us to the point at last

Eb
But no relaxing 'til they give us all our memory back

Cm7
Touche but they had the wherewithal

               Eb
To take it all out of order anyway

                             G
They can always make you pay up

                                              Eb
And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed
Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away
Cm7                                             Eb
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life
That has been given to me
F                      G
Even though limitedly
Like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain
Eb
Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane

C
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade

Eb                 F                    G
Hip hooray for the elephants on parade

                                                          Eb
Take the gist of it and twist it 'til it makes you smile
And don't be scared if there's a snare Sometimes it takes a while
C                                Eb            
There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth

Gm
Don't you try to think about it
Ain't no way to talk about it
G
I will ever change and never cease to be amazed

Bb                     Eb
Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away

C                                               Eb
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life
That has been given to me
F
Even the limits in me
[Outro]
Gm
   Jackrabbits, snake pit runnin' oh
My my been a long time coming Jackrabbits, snake pit running
                                 Eb    Cm   C   G
Hip-hip Hooray for the elephants on parade
