lyrics
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 of great size.
Other kids ride bikes, that’s true,
Or daddies pick them up from school,
But that won’t do for me you 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 is 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!
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 of great size.
Other kids ride bikes, that’s true,
Or daddies pick them up from school,
But that won’t do for me you 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 is 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!
