THE HOLE IN THE ELEPHANT'S BOTTOM

My ambition's to go on the state,
And now my ambition I've gotten,
In pantomime I'm all the rage,
I' the hole in the elephant's bottom.

CHORUS Up 'em all, Up 'em all,
For the cream of society passes my way,
I'm the hole in the elephant's bottom.

Now the fellow who takes the front part,
His manners are perfectly rotten,
He simply does nothing but fart,
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom

CHORUS. UP 'em all, etc.

THe Manager says I'm all balls,
For every time that I spot 'em,
I wink at the girls in the stalls,
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom.

CHORUS   Up 'em all, etc.

My part hasn't got any words,
And so I have never forgot 'em,
I simply slip property turds,
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom.

CHORUS Up 'em all, etc.
