[TUNE: MARIA]
OH TANTOR, I ONCE MET AN “ELE” NAMED TANTOR
THEN SUDDENLY I FOUND
HE’D FALLEN ON THE GROUND….BELOW
OH TANTOR, POACHERS HAVE FINALLY FOUND YOU
BUT THERE’S NO NEED TO FEAR
THEY’RE NOT LOOKING FOR YOUR EARS, AT ALL
OH TANTOR, YOUR IVORIES ARE SO PRICELESS
THEY CAN MAKE PIANO KEYS AND SCRIMSHAW ARTISTRY ….SO FINE
OH TANTOR, BELT IT LOUD, IT’S LIKE MUSIC PLAYING
BELT IT SOFT, AND IT’S ALMOST LIKE SPRAYING
OH TANTOR….I’LL NEVER STOP SAYING,
“OH TANTORRRRRRR”
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PACHYDERM….I EVER SAWWW
OH TAAAANNNNTOOOORRRR !!!
