Nosey the Elephant (cant pack her trunk and trundle off to anywhere) why because she’s chained to the ground

Nosey, he called me
as if I was ever
curious really
about what he does
and what he expects from me
I’m so frustrated
he been so cruel to me
as anyone in their right
mind now can see

I’m chained to the floor
I can’t stretch
my skins sore
and its pitted
its really a sin
to keep me tied up
with no where to go
with no one to talk to
its true, I don’t know

anyone here
who is thoughtful or kind
Tommy is awful
that bugger is blind
he’s daft and so sickening
to treat me like this
he must know I’m suffering
he’s taking the piss!

USDA comes by
and lays down the law
but he carries on his neglect
and some more
I am so sad, so woefully lost
my health and mobility
it now has cost

my ankles are bloodied
and this he ignores
he’s a brute of a man
who should be on all fours
and chained up like me
then perhaps he would feel
the pain that I feel
and know that its real

Remember us elephants
we walk for miles
foraging this way and that
and there’s piles
of evidence really to show him
what for
so to keep me chained up
tight to the cage door

is terribly wrong
it is clear in my book
that Tommy is brainless
and not worth a look
at him yea this waster
is not what you’d do
I’d almost be better off
in some bloody zoo

at least I’d get somewhere to walk
for a while
not be, chained up totally
until my bile,
my liver
my skin
bloody near everything
has broken down
pained me
I am wearing thin

and now he wants me
to perform at some place
in front of some crowd
yea the human race
people like Tommy
screamers I hear
I’ve got to perform
I’ve got to appear

with some coat on
or something
to hide all the wheals
the sores on my back
and just how it feels
I have to climb
and I can’t hardly walk
and use my trumpet
when I, hardly talk

come on the lot of you
all this rendition
surely you can sign the petition
get me away from this bastard before
he makes me work
when my feet are so raw

in the states
there’s few laws to protect us
you know
from people like him
and despite how slow
I am when I walk
when I suffer the pain
Tommy makes me do things again and again

Nosey I’m not
though the name may apply
to my trunk
yea I’m sunk
if I could just die
I would, I would die
I would give up the ghost
for this bastard
shouldn’t be anyone’s host
