about
A parody inspired by "Nellie the Elephant" by Ralph Butler and Peter Hart.

Elephants are lovely creatures and it did cross my mind that this song might somehow incorrectly tarnish the reputation of elephants especially as the original song, for me, was a joyous anthem about liberation from the circus. Any depiction of an elephant in artwork accompanying this is for poetic effect. Elephants are under threat in their natural habitats and this is often highly disguised. There is more interwoven poetry in the picture. Does the elephant wear the veil? Is that an Aberdeen Bay wind turbine or a peace flower?
lyrics
To our shores, a shoal of shirkers came
They brought a slimy sycophant and Donald was his name
Smut and smite, were tactics of his game
One day he ran for the cheif of the clan and much more of the same
Donny the sycophant slapped his rump and shuffled away with the shirkers
Off he went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Donny the sycophant slapped his rump and bade farewell to the burkas
Off he went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Dumb to thinK that bhaji's could be banned
When Donny was leading the big parade he looked so proud and grand
[or.. It ain't much fun for Hitler's son when things get out of hand]
No more tricks for Donny to perform
A sycophant with a racist rant cannot ride out the storm
Donny the sycophant slapped his rump and shuffled away with the shirkers
Off he went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Donny the sycophant slapped his rump and bade farewell to the burkas
Off he went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
The kkk were calling far far away
They met one night on a private flight on a plane to Aberdeen bay
Donny the sycophant slapped his rump and turned the tide on the turbines
Off he went with a trumpety-trump TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Donny the sycophant slapped his rump and bundled back to the bunkers
Off he went with a trumpety-trump TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Donny the sycophant slapped his rump and shuffled away with the shirkers
off he went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Donny the sickophant slapped his rump and bade farewell to the burkas
off he went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP
