Nellie the Elephant Nellie the Elephant is a song written in 1956 by Ralph Butler and Peter Hart about a fictional intelligent elephant of the same name.

Original version
The original version, released on Parlophone R 4219 in October 1956, was recorded by English child actress Mandy Miller, with orchestra conducted by Phil Cardew. It was arranged by Ron Goodwin and produced by George Martin. Although never a hit single, it was played countless times on BBC national radio in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly on "Children's Favourites".

The chorus of the song goes:


 * Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk
 * And said goodbye to the circus
 * Off she went with a trumpety-trump
 * Trump, trump, trump
