about

A couple mates of mine are gifted songwriters and from each I chose a piece that I knew would work well with unaccompanied voices. Clark Gormley might prefer not to talk about it, but his comic genius is the Elephant In The Room.

lyrics

I'm at a party, it's intimate and chic
A bit claustrophobic in fact. I feel a little weak
And the reason there's no room is the elephant in the room

And now the heffalump has knocked over the hors d’oeurves
His wrinkly skin and his trumpeting are getting on my nerves
Still I'll not whine anytime soon 'bout the elephant in the room

The guests who can't get in are lined up in the hall
The host apparently was crushed against the wall
Still the band keeps playing the tunes to the elephant in the room

Men with loud voices are seeking our attention
Still the pachyderm doesn't rate a mention
Only men with nom de plumes write of the elephant in the room

Some have suggested that we call the RSP
CA and remove him but we'd rather let him be
As the lamp lands with a boom knocked by the elephant in the room
On the carpet glass is strewn by the elephant in the room
The TV was smashed by whom? That's right! It's the elephant in the room!
