W:To Bombay a traveling circus came
W:They brought an intelligent elephant and Nellie was her name
W:One dark night she slipped her iron chain
W:And off she ran to Hindustan and was never seen again
W:
W:Ooooooooooooo...
W:
W:Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
W:And said goodbye to the circus
W:Off she went with a trumpety-trump
W:Trump, trump, trump
W:Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
W:And trundled back to the jungle
W:Off she went with a trumpety-trump
W:Trump, trump, trump
W:
W:Night by night she danced to the circus band
W:When Nellie was leading the big parade she looked so proud and grand
W:No more tricks for Nellie to perform
W:They taught her how to take a bow and she took the crowd by storm
W:
W:The head of the herd was calling
W:Far, far away
W:They met one night in the silver light
W:On the road to Mandalay
W:So Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
W:And said goodbye to the circus
W:Off she went with a trumpety-trum
W:Trump, trump, trump
W:
W:Ooooooooooooo...
W:
W:Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
W:And said goodbye to the circus
W:Off she went with a trumpety-trump
W:Trump, trump, trump
W:Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
W:And trundled back to the jungle
W:Off she went with a trumpety-trump
W:Trump, trump, trump
