Elephant Blues

By Malcholm Dark

I was looking through an old book of medical oddities
and came across a picture of a man with elepantiasis
of the scrotum.  As a man I can feel for the pain and
torment he went through.  Having to wheel his junk
around on a small cart just to be mobile, must have
been somewhat degrading.  Still, there was something
humorous about the picture and I felt that this poor
fellow was deserving of a tribute...


Elephant Blues

My boys hang low, there isn't any hope
I use bible pages to twist up my dope.
And God must be laughing over the news
I've got a case of the elephant blues.

I need a small cart to get us around
My boys don't complain, not one little sound.
This life I am living, I didn't choose
I've got a case of the elephant blues.

My walk is funny, I can't really dance
I've no chance at all for any romance.
Women won't love me, I'm livin' to lose
I've got a case of the elephant blues.

"a-bee-bop-a-tickin'
my schlong's just a flickin'
the hair jell's a stickin',
so what's a man to do?"

"a-do-do-a-bummin'
it all starts a cummin'
Rosy Palm she's a hummin'
and her five sisters too."

I have nothing of value, which truly annoys
Except this picture of me and the boys.

My life ain't a dream, no peaches and cream
My boys are quite massive to the extreme.

If you know what I mean...
Yes my balls are quite massive to the extreme.

And if that ain't enough, let me tell you what...

"Does your boys hang low
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie'em in a knot
Can you tie'em in a bow?
Can you haul'em over your shoulder
like a giant boulder holder...
Does your boys hang low?"
