VERSE 
Cm                        Cm 
 They say an elephant can memorize 
Cm                               Gm 
 An ostrich runs 'cause it don't want to fly 
Cm                       Fm 
  Ivory buttons, feather boa ties 
      Cm        Gm        Cm    Gm break 
And hyenas only laugh for fun 


VERSE 
Cm                         Cm 
 They say you never run on porcupines 
Cm                          Gm 
 And that you never talk to crocodiles 
Cm                                Fm 
 Those fancy shoes you wear - the latest style 
      Cm        Gm        Cm    Gm break 
And hyenas only laugh for fun 


MIDDLE 8 
F/C                    C 
 I'm really into conservation 
F/C                    C 
  Vivisection makes me hot as a gun 
F/C                  C 
 Oh, come Sunday, no meat on the table 
Gm                                     Gm break 
 My Yorkshire pudding won't be so much fun      
  Cm = solo 
Oh no, oh no 


SOLO (= verse)

F/C                    C 
  Vivisection makes me hot as a gun 
F/C                  C 
 Oh, come Sunday, no meat on the table 
Gm                                     Gm break 
 My Yorkshire pudding won't be so much fun

Cm                             Cm 
 They say the leopards running out of spots 
Cm                        Gm 
 No silver lining for the silver fox 
Cm                          Fm 
 Is that a matching hat and coat you got? 
      Cm        Gm        Cm 
And hyenas only laugh for fun 
         Cm      Gm             Cm
