When the King and Queen
decided they would have
a formal dance

Invitations were delivered
and it happened quite by chance
Through an oversight of
someone's who it was,
I can't recall
But Engelbert the Elephant
was invited to the ball
What excitement in the jungle,
what a holy hullabaloo
What a race to find a costume
and to learn a step or two
You could feel the jungle shaking
and I guess it's shaking yet
Since Engelbert the elephant
learned to dance the minuet
All the palace lamps were lighted
as the sun was going down
And the music of the orchestra
was heard across the town
The dance was just beginning
when there came a mighty roar
Your Highness,
there's an elephant!
And he's standing at the door
So the guards jumped
out from everywhere
They came from every place

To where Engelbert was standing
With a smile upon his face
He was dressed in latest fashion
On his trunk he wore a ring
And presented his invitation
With the seal of the king
So the soldiers formed an escort
And they led him to the ball
Where the orchestra stopped playing
and a hush went through the hall
The King and Queen were speechless
and I guess they're speechless now
Cos Engelbert the Elephant
made a very lovely bell
Then the Queen began to smile at him
and the band began to play
And Engelbert was dancing
in the very nicest way
The ladies were delighted
at the way he turned his bun
And before the night was over
he had danced with everyone
When they all sat down to dinner
Englebert sat on the floor
He niddled most politely
though he really wanted more
When the final dance was called
for such a sight you've never seen
For it was by the royal command
and he danced it with the Queen
And when the ball was over
and the guests began to go
They escorted him to the city gates
and they gave him quite a show
For the band had come along with them
and the band began to play
And the way he danced
along the road
is talked about today
Yes, they talked about his dancing
and I know they're talking yet
Of how Engelbert the elephant
performed the minuet
