Mark Hughes - Elephant Song

I got thick grey skin and a long grey nose
I never sinned and I don't impose on any other creature on God's earth
I love my children for what it's worth

Just last week I found my eldest son
His teeth were missing and his tusks were gone
He had no skin and he had no feet
All they left us were bones and meat

What have we done to you
What have we done to you
What have we done to you

We used to live in every sea
Four million years our history
Had a hundred brothers - sisters galore
Now there's only me - there are no more

I've been searching trying to find a mate
But there all gone - I must be too late
The dolphins tell me not give up hope
But a big blue whale makes a lot of soap
And a lot of perfume and a lot of steak
I'll keep on searching but I just might be too late

What have we done to you
What have we done to you
What have we done to you
