Syracuse the Elephant by Stackridge Lyrics

Syracuse the elephant wanders around
Never bothers anyone, lies on the ground
Eats his trees and giant leaves, keeps to himself
Remembers herbal niceties he found on the veldt

Oh, leave me alone, I want to go home
Oh, leave me alone, I want to go home
Don't take my herbs away

Born and bred in Bristol Zoo, brought up on swedes
His keeper was a specialist, brought down from Leeds
He fed him well and curled his tail, making a show
But Syracuse the elephant still wanted to go

Oh, leave me alone, I want to go home
Oh, leave me alone, I want to go home
Don't take my herbs away

Syracuse the elephant, remember his name
Then you won't forget about his fortune and fame
They shipped him to America, to star and reign
And now he lives in Hollywood with Tarzan and Jane!
Oh, leave me alone, I want to go home
Oh, leave me alone, I want to go home
Don't take my herbs away
