lyrics

Elephant in the room
Reading the paper in your favourite chair
Oh it's the elephant, in the room
How did he get there?

I lay awake at night
Staring at the ceiling
While the cars are passing by,
I can hear the screaming
Through the wall

Next morning, it's the elephant, in the room
drinking some coffee from your favourite mug
Oh it's the elephant, in the room
How did he get there?

I lay awake at night
Staring at the ceiling
While the cars are passing by,
I can hear the screaming
Through the wall

Elephant in the room
Reading the paper in your favourite chair
Oh it's the elephant, in the room
How did he get there?

I hope you work it out,
We'll all be sleeping better
But my hairy friend,
Oh he'll be gone forever
