Elephant’s Foot Lyrics by Maceo Parker

[Verse 1]
While chillin' one day not knowing what to do
I thought I'd get my friend and go to the zoo
We didn't see an elephant or a cage
Someone had put them all on the stage
There were lumps and bumps and all kinds of grind
You know those elephants wouldn't stay in line
I said: "I know just what they need
Let's teach them all to do the Waymon Reed"
We practiced and practiced all day long
To teach these elephants the elephant song
They looked at us with tight lips
Just kept on moving those big elephant hips
And elephant dancing is a thing to see
And that's when I noticed they were looking at me
I said: "Come on, elephants, come on, let's go"
And that's when one of them stepped on my toe
[Chorus]
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
You must give elephants a dirty look
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I like to teach but I have my limits
Elephant dancing is a pretty good gimick
I looked at my watch, it was getting late
It was about time to open the gate
People came in to see the show
Someone said: "Hey, look, there's Maceo"
I said: "Can I have your attention please
These elephants are about to dance you down to your knees"
They bumped and grind and swayed all day
Started thinking about after the show, hey
I said: "Come on, it's not time to eat
We got to get the crowd up off their feet
We got to keep going for a while yet
Gotta help the owner out of debt"
I said: "Anyway, after this there's another show"
And again, same elephant, same toe
[Chorus]
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
You must give everyone a dirty look
[Interlude]
I know what I'll do:
I'll feed 'em some of this:
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
Elephant stepped on my foot
[Outro]
Elephant stepped on it
Elephant stepped on it
Elephant stepped on it
Elephant stepped on it
Elephant stepped on it
Elephant stepped on it
Elephant stepped on it
Elephant stepped on it
Elephant stepped on it
Elephant stepped on it
