This is from. Back to the zoo by Coral Hull
~the elephant is so slow~

�hadie, hadie ho, the great big elephant is so slow, she swings her

trunk from side to side, as she takes the children for a ride, hadie,

hadie hoe, the elephant is so slow,� i was riding on the back of the

poor old elephant at taronga park zoo as a child, she had been made into

a childless mother, her calves sold off to other zoos, as a girl i had

been taught to sing that song in school, but I didn�t want to ride her,

and was frightened as she paced her endless circle, the zoo worker

gathering children, and placing them into a brightly painted wooden

float behind her ears, she spent her long life dragging her chains, this

feeling of tremendous anguish consumed me, it was bigger than my life

had been, a lot of the kids were crying when the ride had finished, the

adults saying, �never mind, did she frighten you did she?,�
