The Marvellous Magnificent Elphant Elafam!
Welcome to the show
Sir? Oh Sir, you cannot come in.
There’s simply no room, you’re elephantine.
-
I am no ‘sir’, Sir, and you’ll mind your tone.
I’ve come for the show, and I will not postpone.
-
Please! We’ll be squished! They seat only so many.
This tent will not take on your voluptuous belly.
-
This is preposterous! Do you know who I am?
I’m the Marvellous Magnificent Elphant Elafam!
-
That’s silly, that’s wrong, that just cannot be.
Cause that is the show we’ve all come here to see!
-
Precisely, good Sir! Now please step a side.
The show must go on! And I am its pride.
-
The Marvellous Magnificent Elphant Elafam…?
Not monkey, not donkey, not clown, and not… man?
-
Nothing of the sort! You think man can do this?
Balance on peanut from trunk and then twist?!”
-
Wow! It’s amazing! I had no idea!
How do you manage to poise tail over ear?!
-
Your shock is correct, and you must not feel shame.
All those around will soon know my name!
-
Indeed! ‘The Great Elphant Elafam,’ they will chant,
‘Is nothing less than a Marvellous and Magnificent Elephant!’
