歌词
An effervescing elephant
一头兴致昂昂的大象
with tiny eyes, and great big trunk,
它有着小小的眼睛和大大的鼻子
Once whispered to the tiny ear
一次它悄悄地
the ear of one inferior
对一个有着小耳朵的小东西说
that by next June he'd die,
到下个六月来临，他就要死啦
oh yeah! Because the tiger would roam
因为老虎会四处漫步，捕食动物
and the little one said oh my goodness I must stay at home
小家伙说，天呐！我必须躲在家里了
and everytime I hear a growl
每次我听到一声咆哮
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl,
我就知道这是老虎在寻找猎物了
But I'll be really safe you know
但是你知道，我会很安全的
The elephant he told me so
大象是这样告诉我的！
And everyone was nervy, oh yeah!
大家都很紧张兮兮！
and the message was spread
这个消息四处散播
to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
斑马，猫鼬，脏兮兮的河马都知道啦
who wallowed in the mud and chewed
河马在泥里打着滚
his spicy hippoplanckton food
嚼着他最喜爱的香喷喷的食物
and tended to ignore the word
不去理会这个大消息
prefering to survey a herd of stupid water bison, oh yeah!
而是更爱研究愚蠢的水牛们在干吗
And the jungle took fright
丛林陷入恐慌
and ran around for all the day and the night
日日夜夜四处逃窜
But all in vain because you see the tiger came
但是这一切都是徒劳，因为你看见老虎来了
and said "Who me? You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you
他说：“为什么怕我呢？我不会伤害你们任何人的。
I much prefer something to chew and you're all too scant,oh yeah!"
我宁愿选一些更有嚼头的，你们都太小啦！”
He ate the elephant...
他把大象吃了...
