Gongggg! gonggg!(two gong strikes) (Spoken) When your stomach speaks You forget your mind. When your mind speaks You forget your heart. But, when your heart speaks, You forget everything! (Sings) Ohhhh, the night was splendid and serene Yes, when a native girl wiggled right into my dreams She-ee-ee did-a-little-dance It seemed so popular Mmmmm, and I lost my heart in darkest Africa-a-a. She did a dance It brought romance The Elephant Walk. And whoa-whoa those swaying hips-a They put me in a trance Mmmmm, and all at once, I began to dance The feeling, yeah yeah yeah yeah, Is paradise, I know-o-o For an American boy From the South Side of Chica-ago Elephant Walk ohhhhhh Lawd lawd lawdy lawd lawd Crazy memories Lawd lawd lawdy lawdy lawd If they knew what I knew There wouldn't be no wars There'd only be time For a little girl and boy. Crazy melodies, always haunting me Crazy melodies, always haunting me-eee.
