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-y ride

Elephant
(Elephant)
You're sad and in a cage
But that's irrelevant
(Irrelevant)

'Cause everyone gets 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
And benevolent
And elegant
And um

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)
My thoughts so bad 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
