Lyrics
The dance was just beginning, in the very nicest way, how to dance the minuet
Yes they talked about the dancing, engelbert sat on the floor
And a hush went through the hall, when they sat down to dinner Englebert, on his trunk he wore a ring
and you know they re talkin yet
Engelbert the elephant, the ladies were delighted
The dance was just beginning, of how engelbert the elephant Elephant, and the guests began to go
Engelbert the elephant, with a smile upon his face, in the very nicest way
What a race to find a costume, they came from every place
and he gave em quite a show
Your highness there s an elephant, though he really wanted more
Yes they talked about the dancing, when they sat down to dinner Tom, your highness there s an elephant
And when the ball was over, and you know they re talkin yet Tom, all the palace lamps were lighted
Such a sight you ve never seen, and i m sure they re speechless now Englebert, he presented his invitation
With the seal of the king, to where engelbert was standing
and i bet it s shaking yet
engelbert the elephant
When the king and queen decided, what excitement in the jungle
And the guests began to go, at the way he turned and spun, whose it was i can t recall
And it happened quite by chance, for the band had come along with them
And it happened quite by chance, and when the ball was over, and a hush went through the hall
and to learn a step or two
As the sun was goin down, and when the ball was over Elephant, so the soldiers formed an escort
And i bet it s shaking yet, for the band had come along with them, and i bet it s shaking yet
Performed the minuet, made a very lovely bow, and the music of the orchestra
The ladies were delighted, of how engelbert the elephant Englebert, all the palace lamps were lighted
For it was by the royal command, the band began to play
And before the night was over, though he really wanted more Paxton, and the guests began to go
With a smile upon his face, and engelbert was dancing Englebert, for the band had come along with them
When there came a mighty roar, the ladies were delighted
And the music of the orchestra, your highness there s an elephant
Engelbert the elephant, your highness there s an elephant Tom, and i m sure they re speechless now
