Tonart: D major
Verse 1
D
When the King and Queen
decided they would have
a formal dance
Em
A
Invitations were delivered
and it happened quite by chance
G
Through an oversight of
I can't recall
A
But Engelbert the Elephant
D
was invited to the ball
What excitement in the jungle,
what a holy hullabaloo
A
What a race to find a costume
and to learn a step or two
G
You could feel the jungle shaking
D
and I guess it's shaking yet
A
Since Engelbert the elephant
learned to dance the minuet
D
All the palace lamps were lighted
as the sun was going down
A
And the music of the orchestra
was heard across the town
G
The dance was just beginning
D
when there came a mighty roar
there's an elephant!
D
And he's standing at the door
So the guards jumped
out from everywhere
They came from every place
Em
A
To where Engelbert was standing
With a smile upon his face
G
He was dressed in latest fashion
D
On his trunk he wore a ring
A
And presented his invitation
D
With the seal of the king
So the soldiers formed an escort
And they led him to the ball
A
Where the orchestra stopped playing
and a hush went through the hall
G
The King and Queen were speechless
D
and I guess they're speechless now
A
Cos Engelbert the Elephant
D
made a very lovely bell
Then the Queen began to smile at him
and the band began to play
A
And Engelbert was dancing
in the very nicest way
G
The ladies were delighted
D
at the way he turned his bun
A
And before the night was over
he had danced with everyone
D
When they all sat down to dinner
Englebert sat on the floor
A
He niddled most politely
though he really wanted more
G
When the final dance was called
D
for such a sight you've never seen
A
For it was by the royal command
D
and he danced it with the Queen
And when the ball was over
and the guests began to go
A
They escorted him to the city gates
and they gave him quite a show
G
For the band had come along with them
D
and the band began to play
along the road
is talked about today
D
G
Yes, they talked about his dancing
D
and I know they're talking yet
A
Of how Engelbert the elephant
performed the minuet
D
