Who wants a nice white elephant,
Quite fit in wind and limb?
An ornament for any gent
Who can find use for him.
It won`t pay us to kill the cuss;
But we can`t afford his keep.
Who wants a nice white elephant?
We`ll sell or lease him cheap.
Who wants a nice white elephant?
He`d make a lovely pet.
In rich, fat days we loved his way,
But in these times of fret
He`s sort of grown too big for us
To fondle, groom and feed.
Who wants a fine white elephant
Of most exclusive breed?
Who wants a nice white elephant?
Of noble lineage he.
His breed is by State Jealousy
Out of Prosperity.
The rich years thro` he grew and grew,
And, ah, we loved him so.
But we can`t afford his bed and board,
And we`d like to let him go.
Who`ll buy a nice white elephant?
No decent bid refused.
We love him yet, altho` our pet
Has often been abused.
But come on, gents, walk up, walk up.
Our funds, alas, are scant.
Altho` we once were sold a pup
Who`ll buy an elephant?
