Lyrics:

'Ladies and Gentlemen
Damen und Herren
Mesdames et Messieurs
Caballeros und Horsewomen of the world
I give to you the fantastic Nelly
And her performing elephants
An extraordinary exhibition
Of animal dexterity
From the jungles of darkest Africa'

'The elephant's tusk is very valuable
But an elephant is very hard to catch
Elephants are extremely fond of oranges
Of which they consume enormous quantity'
