And the flying trapeze.
Except it's only the pink elephant
In the room with you and me.
Pretend you don't see him
He's not part of the show.
I've told him some things
That I don't want you to know.
He's a large animal,
The color of cotton candy
And with the things he could tell you,
You might be afraid of me.
His large ears and large trunk.
stick out, don't you see?
But don't you question him.
He's holding secrets for me.
Let's talk of pleasantries,
Of sunshine and rainbows.
But please let's not talk about,
What the pink elephant knows.
I think you better leave now
I don't mean to be rude.
The only ones in this circus
Is me and the pink elephant in the room.
