From the recording Down At The End Of The Bar
Lyrics
Elephant in this Room
By Leo Rondeau
There’s an elephant in this room
And he’s taking up all the space
There isn’t anywhere to talk
Without his trunk in your face
He’s a highly intelligent creature
So grand he can’t be missed
I don’t know how he stayed so long
I don’t know how it’s come to this
Oh my lover
we must discuss our
problems and get over this hump
that is an elephant
oh my darling
I rather be quarreling
Than go on in this uncomfortable silence
There’s an elephant in this room
And he’s taking up all the space
There isn’t anywhere to talk
Without his trunk in your face
He’s a wily wily creature
So grand he can’t be missed
I don’t know how he stayed so long
I don’t know how it’s come to this
Solo
Oh my lover
Our home’s been toppled over
By a member of the order of proboscidea
That’s the greek
Oh my darling
I rather be quarreling
Than go on in this uncomfortable silence
There’s an elephant in this room
And he’s taking up all the space
There isn’t anywhere to talk
Without his trunk in your face
