A traveling circus came
They brought two intelligent students
And Ellie (and Jamie) were their names
One dark night
They boarded a great big plane
And off they ran to Luang Prabang
And were never seen again (until July)
Ooooooooooooo...Ellie and Jamie packed their trunks
And said goodbye to the med school
Off they went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
Night by night
They slept on a bus in pain
When Ellie carrying her great big bag
She looked so sad and grey
No more books
For Jamie to devour
They taught him how to pray in Lao
And then showed him to the shower.
The menu choice was appalling
so far, far away
They dodged the guns and got the runs
On the road to Mandalay
So Ellie and Jamie packed their trunks
And said goodbye to the med school
Off they went with a trumpety-trump
Trump, trump, trump
