The Elephant in the Room
        Don’t kiss an elephant on the lips today.
        Lucky Numbers 21, 4, 38, 49, 5, 11

Choose another way to conduct yourself.
Don’t kiss an elephant on the lips today,
As much as you might like to. Just play golf,
Or take a trip to feed your urge to play.

Don’t kiss an elephant on the lips today.
If it’s romance you want, check personal ads—
Or take a trip to feed your urge to play.
Don’t be a prisoner to these passing fads.

If it’s romance you want, check personal ads
(You might find elephants turn others on).
Don’t be a prisoner to these passing fads,
But go for broke—the trunk, the lips, the skin,

As much as you might like to—or just play golf.
Choose another way to conduct yourself.
