Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The movie  wasn't really doing so hot
 said the new  producer to the old big shot
 its dying  on the edge of the great Midwest
 Sabu  must tour or forever rest.
 Hey look  ma
 here comes the elephant boy
bundled  all up in his corduroy
headed  down south towards Illinois
 from the jungles of East St. Paul.
His  manager sat in the office alone
staring  at the numbers on the telephone
wondering  how a man could send a child actor
 to visit  in the land of the wind chill factor.
 (Repeat Chorus)
 (Repeat Intro)
Sabu  was sad the whole tour stunk
 the airlines  lost the elephant's trunk
the  roadie got the rabies and the scabies and the flu
they  was low on morale but they was high on.
 (Repeat Chorus)
