Come along, catch a Heffalump,

Sit with me on a muddy clump,

Don't be long, for the end is nigh.

And waste before your eyes;

And never ask us why.

As the fabric starts to fray.

There’s no such thing as time to kill,
F minorFm Eb MajorEb G+G

C minorCm F minorFm G+G
Thrice for another day.

Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton,

We'll break our fast with friends.

Many moons to the west of here and happily,
F minorFm G+G F minorFm C minorCm
Our journey never ends.

Shut your ears when sirens sing,

Tie armbands to your feet;

Get to where the two ends meet.
