Oliphant

A man thought he was an elephant, he’d be learning to fly

He started stretching his wings, just to give it a try

‘N’ all the birds would sing in support of a guy

Who tought he was an elephant learning to fly

He’d be learning fast for an elephant, he’d be getting somewhere

‘N’ all the birds would agree this man had talent to spare

Up to a certain degree, one could even declare

It takes a man to be the first elephant to conquer the air!

Then came the rainy season down zoo city south

‘N’ to the heavens above, the hunter made himself a vow

To track down the elephant… To put his feet on the ground

Crashing in on a dream from the top on down

Who is he to think an elephant isn’t much of a man?

Just like learning to fly isn’t much of a plan?

For these thoughts to be forsaken ‘n’ forever banned?

For their rights to be taken by pop’lar demand?

He would have made a nice elephant, not just your average guy

But now he’s coming of age without putting up much of a fight

This man’s reduced to tears when he looks up to the sky

Everytime an elephant comes flyin’ by
