HOUSE of FUN
SONGS

When Terry Deary performs his "Terry Deary History Roadshow" he likes to end on a song. There are several songs in the show, but his favourite is probably this sad tale of a young man who (like Terry) just wanted to be an actor on stage. At last he got his big chance! He got a role as part of a pantomime animal. And what a part! This is the song ... but Dr Dreary says ... this song is not suitable for adults.

Hear the song...


THE HOLE in the ELEPHANT'S BOTTOM

I wanted to be on the stage,
And now my ambitions I've gottem!
In my grey pantaloons I'm the rage
I'm the hole in the elephant's bottom!

My friends all think I'm a wit,
In their seats in the stalls I can spot 'em!
And I wink at the girls in the pit
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom!

(Sad verse - if you have tears, prepare to shed them now)

Last night I had some bad luck,
The manager said I was rotten!
Cos I happened to get my head stuck
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom!

My part it is not very large,
But nor is it easy forgotten.
If you're looking for me come and look
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom!
