Relient K - Elephant Parade lyrics

(Hey) Ba da da, ba da da da da da (Oh, woah
Oh)
Ba da da, ba da da da da da (Oh, woah, oh)
Ba da da, ba da da da da da
(Hip, hip hooray for the elephants on parade)
(Hey) Ba da da, ba da da da da da (Oh, woah
Oh)
Ba da da, ba da da da da da (Oh, woah, oh)
Ba da da, ba da da da da da
(Hip, hip hooray for the elephants on parade)

Take the gist of it and twist
It 'til it makes you smile
And don't be scared if there's a snare
Sometimes it takes a while
There's much to learn from every
Turn inside a labyrinth
Don't you try to think about it
No way to talk about it
And I will ever change and
Never cease to be amazed
Air bubbles up and overflows and
Then it goes away
I want to hold and nurture every second
Of this life that has been given to me
Even though limitedly

Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin', oh
My, my, been a long time comin' home
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul
Dag nabbit, you hate me, but hey now
Hip, hip hooray with your baritones on your–
Hip, hip hooray for the elephants on parade

You're preaching to the chorus line
Alright for this whole time
And I'm fine if I can tell
A lie about the minor crimes
I won't try to justify the reason why
I think that I'll never die
It's so preposterous
It's like a bag of circus
Peanuts in a sewage drain
Or airin' out your dirty laundry
On a weather vane
Hip, hip hooray for the elephants on parade
They're gonna trample themselves
They're gonna trample themselves

(Hey) Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin'
Oh (Oh, woah, oh)
My, my, been a long time comin' home
(Oh, woah, oh)
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul
(Hey) Dag nabbit, you hate me
But hey now (Oh, woah, oh)
Hip, hip hooray with your baritones on your–
(Oh, woah, oh)
Hip, hip hooray for the elephants on parade

I got the feeling that I
Wanna be alone with you
And I got the feeling that you might
Want to be alone with me, too
Take a finger and snap, just like that
And I had to say, "Hey, baby
Let's go and make it home for our show"
Simple defragmentation gets us to
The point at last
But no relaxing 'til they give
Us all our memory back
Touché, but they had the wherewithal to take
It all out of order anyway
They can always make you pay up
And I will ever change and
Never cease to be amazed
Air bubbles up, and overflows
And then it goes away
I want to hold and nurture every second of
This life that has been given to me
Even though limitedly
Like a bag of circus peanuts
In a sewage drain
Or airin' out your dirty laundry
On a weather vane
Hip, hip hooray for the elephants on parade
Hip, hip hooray for the elephants on parade
Take the gist of it and twist
It 'til it makes you smile
And don't be scared if there's a snare
Sometimes it takes a while
There's much to learn from every
Turn inside a labyrinth
Don't you try to think about it
Ain't no way to talk about it
I will ever change and never
Cease to be amazed
Air bubbles up and overflows and
Then it goes away
I want to hold and nurture every second of
This life that has been given to me
Even though limitedly

Jackrabbit's, snake pit runnin', oh
My, my been a long time coming
Jackrabbit's, snake pit running
Hip, hip hooray for the elephants on parade
Hip, hip hooray for the elephants on parade
