I saw a red elephant in the street today
Poor soul carrying alone his own weight
He was walking in a sad and slowly way
So I said Mr. Elephant let me tell you that you'll be late
Shall I say I saw the news
'cause he's no longer living here
They found Mr. Elephant cryin my dear
He was so sick of running so he took the train
They found him between cigarettes and champagne
Step by step scared of the mice
Hiding from the light
He still runs the world with a sad look in his eyes
but he runs, he runs, at least he tries.
and if he cares, I don’t know at least he tries
