The Elephant in the Room Lyrics

No one noticed me come in

I can't believe how long it's been

The conversations seemed delightful

But the looks were awfully spiteful

My proboscis found the biscuits in a tin

Found a corner for myself

Admired sundries on the shelf

Listening in to different whispers

Reading lips beneath their whiskers

These ears of mine are bigger than an elf's

I'm just an elephant in the room

The state of faces says I've ruined the mood

I'm not sure I'm really welcome

I didn't know I was being rude

I'm just an elephant in the room

I tried to grab myself a drink

I spilled it on a lady's mink

While they were cleaning up her garments

Made of pricey little varmints

I spilled a glass filled with something pink

I was covered soaking through

I tried to squeeze into the loo

But accidentally ripped the sink out

Water gushing from a wall spout

I've turned this lovely place into a zoo

I'm just an elephant in the room

The state of faces says I've ruined the mood

I'm not sure I'm really welcome

I didn't know I was being rude

I'm just an elephant in the room

What is wrong with me

I've been at my best

Just as cordial as a guest could ever be

Tried to mind my own

Politely laughing at

Jokes, that wouldn't crack a grin

On the skin, on my back

No one said a thing all night

About my bumbles or my plight

So I just stood there keeping silent

Looking big and pink and frightened

Just wondering if anything's alright.

I'm just an elephant in the room

The state of faces says I've ruined the mood

I'm not sure I'm really welcome

I didn't know I was being rude

I'm just an elephant in the room
