The joggin' elephant (Der joggende Elefant)

1. I know an elephant, he's out of his element.
Golly golly golly go golly golly golly go
He really does not like the zoo
and being indoors makes him blue
He's no stay-at-home noggin 'cause what he likes is joggin'
Rain, sun and the joggin' fun’s begun
Really?

Chorus (elephant:) Got to take a quick look
My looks ain't yet so good
I am almost naked
What I need I'll take it

2. And then the elephant puts his jogging trousers on
Golly golly golly go golly golly golly go
He opens up his wardrobe and
He sits down on the kitchen bench
The jogging pants, he puts on and hurries to the stadium
Rain, sun, and the joggin' fun’s begun
Really?

Chorus

3. And then the elephant puts his pair of big socks on
Golly golly golly go golly golly golly go
He opens up his wardrobe and
He sits down on the kitchen bench
The jogging socks, he puts on and hurries to the stadium
Rain, sun, and the joggin' fun’s begun
Really?

Chorus

4. ...jogging sneakers... (The jogging shoes...)
5. ...jogging t-shirt... (The jogging shirt...)
6. ...big bandana...
7. ...jogging jacket...
8. ...cap for jogging... (The jogging cap...)
(whatever comes to your mind!)

Last Chorus (elephant): I am ready yippee!
Blast! I got to wee-wee
Get off everything quick
Do quick acrobatics

(Instructions to play: Just do what the lyrics say,
to „golly golly golly go...“ everybody stomps.
After the chorus together you may think about what
to put on further on, then the next verse follows.)
