Elefantens Vuggevise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nu tændes der stjerner på himlens blå.
Halvmånen løfter sin snabel.
Jeg våger at ikke de slemme mus
Skal liste sig op i din sabel.
Sov sødt lille jumbo og visselul.
Nu bliver skoven så dunkel.
Nu sover tante den gamle struds,
Og næsehornet din onkel.
Nu kalder i søvne den vilde gnu
I krattet af store lianer.
Og aber synger sig selv i søvn
I vuggen af grønne bananer.
Sov sødt lille jumbo, dit lille pus!
Slet intet, min ven skal du mangle.
I morgen får du en negerdreng,
Og ham skal du bruge som rangle.
En zebra tager sin natdragt på,
Med sorte og hvide striber,
Et flyveegern med lådne ben,
Sidder i mørket og piber.
Sov sødt lille jumbo, nu er du vel mæt?
Du kender ej husmodersorgen.
En lille plantage på tusinde rør,
Dem skal vi ha' syltet i morgen!
Hør tigeren brøler sin aftensang
Og spejder mod alle kanter,
Ved vadestedet, med slebet klo,
Der lister den sorte panter.
Sov tyst lille jumbo, dit lille myr.
Din nuttede lille rødbede.
Du bad mig fortælle et eventyr,
Nu sover du sødt allerede.
