(Lyrics to The Elephant Song by Eric Herman and the Invisible Band)

Elephants. I like elephants.
Elephants. I like elephants.
I like how they swing through trees...
No... elephants don't swing through trees... that's monkeys.

Monkeys. I like monkeys.
I like how they swim in the ocean...
No, that's fish.

Fish. I like fish.
Fish. I like fish.
I like how they scratch at fleas, and sniff at trees, and bark at the mailman.
No, no, no, those are dogs.

Gotta like dogs.
Yeah!
Curled up on the windowsill purring, and chasing mice...
No, no, cats.

Cats. I like cats.
Cats. I like cats.
I like how they say, Cock-a-doodle-doo!
No, no, no, they go meow. You're thinking of roosters.

Roosters. I like roosters.
I like how they reach into beehives for the honey.
Uh uh... bears do that.

Bears, I like bears.
I like how they jump up how, to catch a fly, and sit on a lily pad.
No, no, no, no, no, no! Frogs.

Gotta like frogs.
Yeah.
Running through a maze for some cheese...
No, that's mice.

Mice. I like mice.
I like how they say, "He haw! He haw!"
No, they go sweak sweak. That's a donkey.

Donkeys, I like donkeys.
I like how they stomp through the jungle with their big, gray trunks.
No, that's an elephant.

Right, like I said, elephants, I like elephants.

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back.

Who's on first...giants maybe?
What's on second.... Jack and the Beanstalk?
Third base... Bessy the cow and monkeys in rocket ships?
I Don't Know... New Orleans jazz music from long, long, ago?
Like before even my daddy was born.
