Scrapper Blackwell - Carried Water for the Elephant

Kishore Kumar Hits — Scrapper Blackwell - Carried Water for the Elephant lyrics

Artist: Scrapper Blackwell

album: Presenting Scrapper Blackwell

Circus came to town, to the circus I went
Didn't have a ticket didn't have a cent
Circus man said "To see the show without a cent"
"You got to carry water for the elephant"
I carried water for the elephant
Back and forth to the well I went
Arms got sore and my back got bent
But I couldn't fill up the elephant
I says to the man with the standin' up collar
Bet four bits that elephant's a holla
He gave me a ticket, said "First you'll see"
"The animals in the menagerie"
First I saw the lion and the lion he roared "A-Rrrrrrr"
Saw the wild duck and the wild duck quacked "Quack, quack quack"
Saw the wild cat and the wild cat meowed "Meow-ow"
Saw the old crow and the old crow cawed "Caw caw caw"
Saw Mr. Possum sittin' on a limb, big black bear sittin next to him
Saw the old monkey like in a zoo
And the wild rooster says "Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doo"
Saw the hippopotamus splash in the water
Tryin' to flirt with the crocodiles daughter
Saw the giraffe and the big kangaroo
Saw an owl holler "Hoo hoo hoo"
Saw the wild birds and the birds sang sweet "Tweet tweet tweet"
Saw the wild dogs and the wild dogs barked "Arf arf arf"
Saw the cuckoo and the cuckoo cooed "Cuckoo cuckoo"
Saw the hyena and the hyena laughed "Ha ha ha"
I went down to the circus tent
Sure was doggone glad I went
Saw the whole show and didn't cost a cent
'Cause I carried water for the elephant
