Crime of passion.

lyrics

STOLEN BABY ELEPHANT
(INCIDENT AT THE ST. LOUIS ZOO)


Many deeds have I done
To win a fair lady’s love
Many castles I’ve stormed
Slayed dragons as big as there ever was

I was cocky and brash
No challenge of which this proud Knight was scared
But a baby elephant from the St. Louis Zoo
Was my Maiden’s bizarre double-dog-dare

Chorus:
Now I’m in a Missouri jail
With a sign o’er my cell
“Here lays the low-down, baby elephant thief, sorry as Hell
They say I like big ears and long tails
Trunks, and the Elephant Man himself
No jury believed that I fell
Under an elephant crazy young Maiden’s spell

If you love me you’ll find a way
Or don’t come back to this house
If you come back sans my sweet pet you’ll sleep on the couch

Shed no tear for me
For I loved 5 whole nights and days
Up till the police finally came
And hauled me and my little floppy eared friend away

Chorus
