The movie wasn't really doing so hot
|
Said the new producer to the old big shot
|
Its dying on the edge of the great Midwest
|
Sabu must tour or forever rest.
|
|
Hey look ma
|
Here comes the elephant boy
|
Bundled all up in his corduroy
|
Headed down south towards Illinois
|
From the jungles of East St. Paul.
|
|
His manager sat in the office alone
|
Staring at the numbers on the telephone
|
Wondering how a man could send a child actor
|
To visit in the land of the wind chill factor.
|
Sabu was sad the whole tour stunk
|
The airlines lost the elephant's trunk
|
The roadie got the rabies and the scabies and the flu
|
They was low on morale but they was high on...
