Jumbo said to say goodnight,
see you in the morning.
Please don’t lose your appetite,
he knows who is yawning.
Tomorrow you can climb a mountain,
sail a sailboat through a fountain.
Jumbo said to say goodnight, he’s a friend of yours.
Play no games he’d say to me when the light is gone.
He is right he’d say to me, we know who is wrong.
So please don’t make no hesitation.
There will be no recreation.
Jumbo said to say goodnight, he’s a friend of yours.
Listen to the tune; and if it’s loud, it’s up to you.
It’s only sounder than a sparrow, and it shoots a bow and arrow
through a song that’s like a powder with a gun that’s even louder.
And it’s sad enough to hear you must a listen with your ear
in order to get to you.
Yes, yes, yes, it gets to you.
Yes, yes, yes, you.
Yes, yes, yes, you.
Yes, yes, yes, you.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
