It sometimes takes me two minutes to pick up a text

To Bombay
A travelling circus came
They brought an intelligent elephant
and Nellie was her name

One dark night
she slipt her iron chain, and off she ran
to Hindustan and was never seen again

oooooooooooooooooo…
Nellie the elephant pack her trunk and
said goodbye to the circus
of she rode with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
and trumbled off to the jungle
off she rode with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump

Night by night she danced to the circus band
When Nellie was leading the big parade she looked
so proud and grand

No more tricks for Nellie to perform
They taught her how to take a bow and she took
the crowd by storm

oooooooooooooooooo…
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and
said goodbye to the circus
off she rode with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
and trumbled off to the jungle
off she rode with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump

The head of the heard was calling far far away
they met one night in silver light
on the road to Mandaley

oooooooooooooooooo…
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and
said goodbye to the circus
off she rode with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
and trumbled off to the jungle
off she rode with a trumpety trump
trump trump trump

This is currently the tone for text messages on my phone. I’ll put something shorter on eventually.
