Elephant's Memory - Mongoose lyrics

rate me

In the village of the Leboga

Lies a body cold and dead

For the venom of the cobra

Has with the body wed

I can hear a little girl

As she cries to all around

For the snake has killed my father

Tell me where can help be found

Mongoose, mongoose

Mongoose, mongoose

Then all the people sound the drums

Call the mongoose from his lair

Through the jungle, he flies alone

To Leboga on a dare

In the dark, the cobra waits

And his eyes glow red

Like a flash comes the mongoose

For the battle head to head

Mongoose, mongoose

Mongoose, mongoose

Said the mongoose to the cobra

See the panther in that tree

As the cobra turned it's head

Mongoose caught it in his teeth

Then the people started singing

For the snake that killed them all

Cobra eggs now are hatching

Baby cobras back for more

Mongoose, mongoose

Mongoose, mongoose

Mongoose, mongoose

Mongoose, mongoose...<br />
