Email: Intro: The movie wasn’t really doing so hot said the new producer to the old big shot its dying on the edge of the great Midwest Sabu must tour or forever rest. Hey look ma here comes the elephant boy bundled all up in his corduroy headed down south towards Illinois from the jungles of East St. Paul. His manager sat in the office alone staring at the numbers on the telephone wondering how a man could send a child actor to visit in the land of the wind chill factor. (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Intro) Sabu was sad the whole tour stunk the airlines lost the elephant’s trunk the roadie got the rabies and the scabies and the flu they was low on morale but they was high on. (Repeat Chorus)

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les mésaventures d'un jeune acteur, Sabu, qui se retrouve en tournée dans le Midwest américain, loin des lumières d'Hollywood. Le producteur, désespéré par le flop du film, envoie Sabu en visite dans des villes sans grand éclat, tandis que son manager se débat avec des chiffres décevants. La tournée est désastreuse : un éléphant perd son traîneau, des membres de l’équipe attrapent des maladies, et l'ambiance est tendue. On ressent une certaine mélancolie au fil des voyages et des difficultés qu’ils rencontrent.
