Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Nelly the Elephant?
No can't find it. British Mudcatters might be able to come up with it. It's called
"Nelly the Elephant" and it starts:
Nelly the elephant packed her trunk and ran away to the circus....

The tune is a rollicking dance that sounds like the sort of dance an elephant would do. I heard an English girl play it on her concertina and later found the words. We have them somewhere but you'd need the tune.
