[4/4, brightly]
BIG PINK ELEPHANT
--J. Wrabek
1.
We ran into a genie while walking in the woods;
He said we could have just one wish, so better make it good;
But while were discussin’ the things that we could get,
My baby sister caught his eye, and this is what she said:
CHORUS 1:
“I want a Big! Pink! Elephant! With lots of yellow spots!
Gonna make me happy any time that I am not;
We’ll be the only fam’ly in the neighborhood that’s got
A Big Pink Elephant with lots of yellow spots.”
2.
The genie smiled, and bowed and said, “Your wish is my command,”
And disappeared, and in his place an elephant did stand;
He wasn’t very cuddly, but he sure was awful pink,
And I think it was the yellow spots that really made him stink.
CHORUS 2:
A Big! Pink! Elephant! With lots of yellow spots!
Not the sort of thing you can sneak home in a box;
I think it was the awful smell that finally got us caught—
A Big Pink Elephant with lots of yellow spots.
3.
Well, about the time our elephant came crashing through the floor,
Momma said, “The zoo for him—can’t stay here any more;
He’s eaten all the food in sight, and trampled half the yard,
And really scared the neighbors when he tried to hump their car.”
CHORUS 3:
A Big! Pink! Elephant! With lots of yellow spots!
The zookeeper loved him, ‘cause people came in flocks;
He’ll make you lots of money, if money’s what you want—
A Big Pink Elephant with lots of yellow spots.
4.
He painted all the elephants, so none of them were gray;
That sorta worked until it rained, and washed the paint away;
And then it became obvious that all the zoo had got
Was one pink elephant with lots of yellow spots.
CHORUS 4:
A Big! Pink! Elephant! With lots of yellow spots!
Better breed him quickly, ‘cause one is all you got;
He isn’t very cuddly, but the ladies think he’s hot—
A Big Pink Elephant with lots of yellow spots.
5.
This story has a moral, so you’d better listen good:
Be careful what you wish for, when you’re walkin’ in the woods;
And shut your baby sister up, or you’ll find that you have got
A Big Pink Elephant with lots of yellow spots.
CHORUS 5:
A Big! Pink! Elephant! With lots of yellow spots!
I could’ve had a kingdom—I could’ve had a yacht;
Instead, we got a pachyderm that ate and pooped a lot—
A Big Pink Elephant with lots of yellow spots.
TAG:
A Big Pink Elephant with lots of yellow spots.
