White Elephant

[Intro]
There’s a white elephant
In the room
(Green with envy)
I assume
You cannot consume….
(Oh, let us see)

[Verse 1]
A white elephant for sale
It’ll never fail
(To bring out the animal in you… it’s true)
In the sights
Of insight

[Bridge]
Would you like to pay
For my burden?
(Hey! Sales on!)

[Chorus]
There’s a white elephant
In the room
(Green with envy)
I assume
You cannot consume….
(Oh, let us see)

[Bridge]
Will you wallow
In the swallow
(Into the straight and narrow)

[Verse 2]
A white elephant for sale
(Grab ‘er by the tail!)
The animal in you… is out in plain view)
In the sights
Of insight

[Bridge]
In the sights
Of insight
Would you like to pay
For my (ba, ba) burden?
(Hey! Sales on!)
And, on and on
(And on and on and on)

[Chorus]
There’s a white elephant
In the room
(Green with envy)
I assume
You cannot consume….
(Oh, let us see)

[Bridge]
In the sights
Of insight
Will you wallow
In the swallow
(Into the straight and narrow)
Would you like to pay
For my (ba, ba) burden?
(Hey! Sales on!)
And, on and on
(And on and on and on)

[Outro]
In the sights
Of insight

ABOUT THE SONG
A white elephant sale is a type of sale where people donate unwanted or surplus items, which are then sold to raise money. The name comes from the idea of a “white elephant,” referring to something that is more of a burden than a benefit — items that are no longer useful to the owner but might still have value to someone else.
