[Guitar Figure 1]

| E                    | A
  Syracuse the elephant  wanders around


[Guitar Figure 1]

| E                    | A
  Never bothers anyone,  lies on the ground


[Guitar Figure 1]

| E                               | A
  Eats his trees and giant leaves,  keeps to himself


[Guitar Figure 1]

| E                           | A
  Remembers herbal niceties he  finds in the veldt

[Guitar Figure 1]

| E                            | A
  Born and bred in Bristol zoo,  brought up on swedes

| E                           | A
  His keeper was a specialist,  came down from Leeds

  | E                                | A
He  fed him well and curled his tail,  making a show

   | E                          | A
But  Syracuse the elephant still  wanted to go



[repeat CHORUS1]

[Guitar Figure 1]

| E                         | A
  Syracuse the elephant, re - member his name

| E                              | A
  Then you won't forget about his  fortune and fame

    | E                     | A
They  sent him to America to  star and to reign

   | E                            | A
And now he lives in Hollywood with  Tarzan and Jane
