PERFORMING ELEPHANTS

You know what he taught you about what thought did don't you

he thinks that sky hooks are there for him to climb above the street

I could lift him up with one hand he's as light as a ton of feathers

of course a ton of concrete might be a different kettle of Hake

He always said that the circus was theatre in the round

performing elephants and I suppose he knew what a trapeze artist was

Never look a gift horse in the kite he says as he waters his horse

but he can't make him drink the Molotov Cocktails on offer

Animals are clever you can't talk to a car like that

but you can get dogs that put you to sleep and never wake you up

He says join the minestrone queue at the soup kitchen for egg and chips

or you'll be left with the cold cabbage slops they call consommé

First come first served but don't jib in or you'll get slung out

don't bite the canteen ladies hand or her nail polish might kill you

He thought that sky hooks were there for him to climb above the street

but you know what he taught you about what thought did don't you
