Verse 1
C
When the King and Queen decided
They would have a formal dance
G
Invitations were delivered
And it happened quite by chance
F
Through an oversight of someone's
C
Whose it was I can't recall
G
Engelbert the elephant
C
Was invited to the ball
What excitement in the jungle
What a holy hullabaloo
G
What a race to find a costume
And to learn a step or two
F
You could feel the jungle shaking
C
And I bet it's shaking yet
G
While Engelbert was learning
C
How to dance the minuet
All the palace lamps were lighted
As the sun was goin' down
G
And the music of the orchestra
Was heard across the town
F
The dance was just beginning
C
When there came a mighty roar
G
Your Highness - there's
an elephant
C
And he's standing by the door
Then the guard turned out
from everywhere
They came from every place
G
To where Engelbert was standing
With a smile upon his face
F
He was dressed in latest fashion
C
On his trunk he wore a ring
G
He presented his invitation
C
With the seal of the King
So the soldiers formed an escort
And they led him to the ball
G
Where the orchestra stopped playing
And a hush went through the hall
F
For the King and Queen were speechless
C
And I'm sure they're speechless
now
G
Engelbert the elephant
C
Made a very lovely bow
Then the Queen began to smile at him
The band began to play
G
And Engelbert was dancing
In the very nicest way
F
The ladies were delighted
C
At the way he turned and spun
G
And before the night was over
C
He had danced with everyone
When they sat down to dinner
Engelbert sat on the floor
G
He nibbled most politely
Though he really wanted more
F
When the final dance was called for
C
Such a sight you've never seen
G
For it was by the royal command
C
He danced it with the Queen
And when the ball was over
And the guests began to go
G
They escorted him to the city gates
And he gave 'em quite a show
F
For the band had come
along with them
C
And the band began to play
G
And the dance he did along the road
C
Is talked about today
F
Yes they talked about the dancing
C
And you know they're talkin' yet
G
Of how Engelbert the elephant
C
Performed the minuet
