The Lyrics

The Germans weren't the only ones in World War I to attempt to build a giant land dreadnought. The British had an earlier design dating from 1916 that was to be called the Flying Elephant. The flying part comes from the two German Daimler aircraft engines to be used inside and the elephant comes from the 75mm nose gun as well as it's bulky hull and gray paint scheme! Partial construction began, but the project was cancelled, phases 1 and 2.
Land Leviathan 2
Huge for time

Flying Elephant they called you
100 tons
A 13 Pdr nose gun!

51mm of armor planned
9 MGs all around
Two Daimler engines, 210 hp
Clanking​ machine would shake the ground
(Might it wear the Germans down?)

Land Leviathan 2
Huge for time
Didn't make the line

Trials proved
It barely moved
Lack of view
Slow and ungainly target
Germans not scared
Had heavy artillery
The design was laughed at

Not meant to be
Land Leviathan 2
Huge for time
(Better Mks the Brits received)
Note: The German giant was the 1918 K-wagen under construction.
