* The Song

An Elephant Job © - Song by: Michael G Strickland

FYI: I love "word play". A friend I met at one of my many gigs used to yell out "A Hell of a job" at the end of particular songs I performed that he really liked. But it always sounded like he was saying, "An Elephant Job".. so I turned THAT mistaken phrase into a PG rated song. I played it for him.. he approved! lol

MICHAEL G STRICKLAND

MY BEST FRIEND'S NAMED MR KING
BUT I JUST CALL HIM JACK

UP THERE WHEN HE'S VERY HIGH
AND NO NOWHERE NEAR THE GROUND
HE ASKS ME IF I WOULDN'T MIND
TO PLEASE COME HELP HIM DOWN

SO I'M HELPING JACK KING OFF AN ELEPHANT
JACK KING OFF AN ELEPHANT
JACK KING OFF AN ELEPHANT

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE GOT THAT BEAST

IT'S QUITE A JOB TO GET HIM OFF
BUT REALLY SO MUCH FUN

I'VE NEVER OWNED AN ELEPHANT
THINK I'LL BUY ONE JUST FOR ME
THEN CALL MY FRIEND TO ASK HIS HELP
HE'S WILLING THEN YOU'LL SEE

JACK KING HELP ME OFF MY ELEPHANT
