Elephant hunter lives for safari;
Tracking down mammoth hulk for his quarry;
Driven to trophy prize of an ivory tusk;
And by the dung smell can tell 
How well the hunt will go.

 

Elephant hunter shrewd as a jaguar;
Elephant hunter knows where the stags are;
Heads for the hills and swears that the herd's not far;
And yet the big white stands here 
Grazing right in our sight.

 

Heed the prophet's call--a great rain may fall
And overcome us all;
Great danger's near,
We're too stiff-necked to hear the rumblings, the warning;
It's clear..it stands right here!

 

Elephant hunter plays at safari;
Spinning his wheels in chase of his quarry;

 

(Giant as an elephant, 's clear to me, why can't you see?
Seems to me, while it's goin' down, you're standin' 'round)

   

And yet the big white stands here 
Grazing right in our sight.

 

Heed the thunderous call--a great rain may fall
And overcome us all;
Great danger's near,
We're too stiff-necked to hear the rumblings, the warning;
It's clear..it stands right here!
