The final verse, as I heard it (back in the '60s) was: I had me an elephant, no tusk would it bear I had me an elephant, no tusk would it bear My wife said "Honey, we're losin' money." So I took the rooster I put him in the yard He caught that elephant right of of his guard (Big laugh from anticipating audience) My rooster DIED, but he died TRYING since I put him into the yard... (disolve into uproarious applause)
