Misc Childrens - Nellie The Elephant guitar tab

To Bombay

A travelling 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

Whoa (NOTE: this accompanies an upswing in tempo)

[CHORUS]

Nellie the elephant

Packed her trunk

And said goodbye to the circus

Off she ran

With a tropply trop, trop trop trop

Now Nellie the elephant

Packer her trunk

And trumbled off to the jungle

Off she ran

With a tropply trop, trop trop trop

Night by night

She danced to the circus band

When Nellie led 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

Whoa

[CHORUS]

And everyone heard the story

Far far away

And then one night in silver light

They're off to Mandolay

[Not sure about the above section]

Whoa

[CHORUS]

Go to (Toledo?)

[CHORUS]

That's it. I got these from the Toy Dolls' version, I believe. I recorded

it from Dr. Demento four or five years ago (maybe more). If anyone knows the

messed up parts, please correct me.
