Lyrics

The elephants
The elephants
I saw the elephants today
I saw the elephants today
And they were defending each other
And they were defending each other
Why can't east, west, north, and South Africa
All stand up as one?
Why can't east, west, north, and South Africa
All stand up as one?
Side up, side up, Africa, side up, side by side (the elephants)
Move up, move up, Africa, move up, move up as one (the elephants)
I saw the elephants today
The elephants, they move as one
The elephants, they move as one
So, Africa should live as one
So, Africa should live as one
I saw the elephants today (the elephants)
Side up, side up, Africa, side up, side by side (the elephants)
Side up, side up, Africa, side up, side by side (the elephants)
Move up, move up, Africa, move up, move up as one
Move up, move up, Africa, move up, move up as one
I saw the elephants today
I saw the elephants today
I saw the elephants today
And they were defending each other
And they were defending each other
Why can't east, west, north, and South Africa?
Why can't east, west, north, and South Africa?
All stand up as one?
All stand up as one
Side up, side up, Africa, side up, side by side
Side up, side up, Africa, side up, side by side
Move up, move up, Africa, move up, move up as one
Move up, move up, Africa, move up, move up as one (the elephants)
I saw the elephants today
The elephants
The elephants
