Once upon a time I was dreaming of the sea
At my table in a bar when this drifter looked at me
So I called him to walk over cause I flet he had a story
Then I ordered some more wine and I said where have you been?
Well he looked away and asked me if I'd heard about the Elephunk
CHORUS:
They said that courage pays wrong in so many ways
They say that courage pays but I lasted seven days
When I read it in the paper it all sounded like a ball
He had burned all of his bridges but he took me in his fall
He was looking for a priest he was looking for an exit
He was dizzy with the dance and he knew he couldn't stop it
Oh I learned the hard way in the kingdom of the Elephunk
CHORUS
Well it didn't make sense but he talked about a treasure
Not the gold and pearl kind but of riches you can't measure
And the jealous favourites they would hide behind the curtains
With their daggers at the ready and that's when I was certain
That I took a wrong turn when I sailed to meet the Elefunk...
We be sorry we can't be or do more than we can see
We be sorry we can't be or do more than we can see
