Elephant Elephant

Elephant (elephant)

Big and strong and gentle and intelligent (intelligent)

How could I feel blue?

I've got my sister at my side

And an elephant to ride

Oh, elephant (elephant)

You're sad and in a cage

But that's irrelevant (irrelevant)

'Cause everyone is jealous when they see me riding by

On a friend of such great size

Other kids have bikes (that's true)

Or daddies pick them up from school

But that won't do for me, you understand (understand)

Other kids have horses

Other kids have dogs

Other kids have hamsters

Other kids have frogs

But the pet for me is something much more grand

Other kids have bikes (that's true)

Or daddies pick them up from school

But that won't do for me, you understand (understand)

Other kids have horses

Other kids have dogs

Other kids have hamsters

Other kids have frogs

But the pet for me is something much more grand

And benevolent

And elegant

And I've got an

Elephant (elephant)

Riding on your back I'm in my element (element)

It's true and it's a fact that there's so much you can learn

When you're on a pachyderm

Oh, elephant (elephant)

Life's not so bad, it's swell of it

To give me such a friend

Oh, elephant (elephant)

I'm with you to the end

Elephant, elephant

I'm with you to the end

Goodnight, elephant
