Evelyn Evelyn - Elephant Elephant 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

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)
