the elephants

Burning Spear

The elephants, the elephants.
I saw the elephants today.
I saw the elephants today.
And they were defending each other.
And they were defending each other.
Why can't east, west, north and south Africa,
Oh stand up as one.
Why can't east, west, north and south Africa,
Oh stand up as one.
Side up, side up Africa, side up by side.
Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one.
I saw the elephants today.

The elephants the move as one.
The elephants the move as one.
So Africa should live as one,
So Africa should live as one.
I saw the elephants today
Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side
Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side
Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one.
Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one.
I saw the elephants today,
I saw the elephants today.
I saw the elephants today,
And they were defending each other.
And they were defending each other.

Why can't east, west, north and south Africa,
Why can't east, west. North and south Africa,
Oh stand up as one, oh stand up as one.
Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side.
Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side.
Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one.
Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one.
I saw the elephants today
The elephants, the elephants, the elephants.
