G C
The movie wasn't really doing so hot
D G
said the new producer to the old big shot
G C
its dying on the edge of the great Midwest
D G
Sabu must tour or forever rest.

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.

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.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Intro)

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.

(Repeat Chorus)
