I really like elephants

They have great intelligence

I have heard they don't forget

I would like one as a pet.

*

Elephants trumpet, elephants spray

Elephants learn to fight and play.

If you give me half a chance,

I would dance with elephants.

*

Elephant, my giant friend,

Not that I mean to offend;

How'd you get big ears like those?

Oh my goodness, what a nose!

*

Elephants trumpet, elephants spray

Elephants learn to fight and play.

If you give me half a chance,

I would dance with elephants.

*

Mama elephant is tall

She can make a whole tree fall

Then the herd has leaves to munch

What a tasty leafy lunch!

*

Elephants trumpet, elephants spray

Elephants learn to fight and play.

If you give me half a chance,

I would dance with elephants.
