Verse:
Cm G7 Cm    D#                 G
To Bombay a travelling circus came,
    D7                     G            D7            G
they brought an intelligent elephant and Nellie was her name.

Cm  G7   Cm    D#                   G
One dark night she slipped her iron chain
    D7                     G        D7           G
and off she ran to Hindustan and was never seen again

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said good-bye to the circus
F                  C                D7    G7     C 
Off she went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!

Off she went with a trumpety-trump. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!

Night by night, she danced to the circus band,
    D7                      G          D7                     G
when Nellie was leading the big parade she looked so proud and grand

Cm G7   Cm     D#              G
No more tricks for Nellie to perform
    D7                      G         D7                   G
they taught her how to take a bow and she took the crowd by storm
