To Bombay
A travelling circus came
They brought
an intelligent elephant
And Nellie was her name
One dark night
She slipped her iron chain
And off she ran to Hindu Stan
And was never seen again
Oh...............
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And said goodbye
to the circus
Off she went
with a trumpety trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And trundled
out to the jungle
Off she went
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
the crowd by storm
Oh...............
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And said goodbye
to the circus
Off she went
with a trumpety trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And trundled
out to the jungle
Off she went
with a trumpety trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And said goodbye
to the circus
Off she went
with a trumpety trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And trundled out
to the jungle
Off she went
with a trumpety trump
Trump, trump, trump
The head of the heard
was calling far, far away
They met one night
in the silver light
And the road
to Manderlay
Oh...............
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And said goodbye
to the circus
Off she went
with a trumpety trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And trundled out
to the jungle
Off she went
with a trumpety trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And said goodbye
to the circus
Off she went
with a trumpety trump
Trump, trump, trump
Nellie the Elephant
packed her trunk
And trundled out
to the jungle
Off she went
with a trumpety trump
Trump, trump, trump...
