Southbound Pachyderm Lyrics

Quite a surprise

What an ingenious device
Boredom encompasses my time
I don't know what I should do

Indulging a moment of your time
Seldom the breeder of lies
But you won't believe that it's true

They take to the skies
Southbound Pachyderm
Southbound Pachyderm
Southbound Pachyderm


Pinholes through cardboard at the sun
Passing the bucks by one by one
Leaving nothing in return


Watching the majesty blow past
Speculating which will be the last

Savoring my piece of pie

And there is no reprise
They're filling the skies
Southbound Pachyderm
Southbound Pachyderm
Southbound Pachyderm
Southbound Pachyderm
Southbound Pachyderm
Southbound Pachyderm
Southbound Pachyderm
Southbound Pachyderm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
