To Bombay a travelling circus came,

they brought an intelligent elephant and Nellie was her name.

and off she ran to Hindustan and was never seen again...

Night by night, she danced to the circus band,
F#7 B F#7 B
when Nellie was leading the big parade she looked so proud and grand

they taught her how to take a bow and she took the crowd by storm...
