VERSE 1
Down in Yunnan there's some park land just for elephants.
But one herd has got wanderlust,
Moving north, 'cause travel they must.
Now they're online heroes and a boffo wildlife act.
The Chinese government's been hoping that from COVID they'll distract.
CHORUS 1
How 'ya gonna keep 'em on the reserve after they've seen Kunming?
How 'ya gonna keep 'em from chowin' down on acres of corn, at night, noon,
and morn?
How 'ya gonna tell 'em they have some nerve? That's the tricky thing.
They may devour crops of sugarcane,
But cuddly creatures they'll still remain.
How 'ya gonna keep 'em on the reserve after they've seen Kunming?
VERSE 2
Off in London some zookeepers dare to speculate:
Elephants are kinda like us,
But they cannot get on a bus.
No one knows just why they're trekking,
Or just where they're bound,
But these peripatetic pachyderms are set to break new ground.
CHORUS 2
How 'ya gonna keep 'em on the reserve after they've seen Kunming?
How 'ya gonna keep 'em from chowin' down on acres of corn, at night, noon,
and morn?
How 'ya gonna tell 'em they have some nerve? That's the tricky thing.
They may break into vats of alcohol,
But they're the most endearing drunks of all.
How 'ya gonna keep 'em on the reserve after they've seen Kunming?
