To Bombay
A travelling circus came
They brought an intelegent elephant
and Nellie was her name
One dark night
she slipt her iron chain, and off she ran
to Hindustan and was never seen again
oooooooooooooooooo...
Nellie the elephant pack her trunk and
said goodbye to the circus
off she road with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
and trumbled off to the jungle
off she road with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump
Night by night she danced to the circus band
When Nellie was leading the big parade she looked
so proud and grand
No more tricks for Nellie to perform
They taught her how to take a bow and she took
to crowd by storm
oooooooooooooooooo...
Nellie the elephant pack her trunk and
said goodbye to the circus
off she road with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
and trumbled off to the jungle
off she road with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump
The head of the heard was calling far far away
they meet one night in silver light
on the road to Mandaley
oooooooooooooooooo...
Nellie the elephant pack her trunk and
said goodbye to the circus
off she road with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
and trumbled off to the jungle
off she road with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump
