Grand To Be An Elephant An elegant Elephant waltzing along Was heard to sing out this marvelous song. How grand to be an Elephant, yessireee; As strong and brave as anyone can beee; Also smart, and kind, you must agreee, So swell and grand, it simply seems to meeee, That everyone should an Elephant want to beee. OH! How grand to be a mighty pachyderm, It's quite a bit handsomer than a worm. I could have ended up a bumble bee; Instead He made me just the way I ammm, So big I can unearth a giant treee, And no one dares turn me into a hammm. An Elephant, it's truly fine to beee; For nothing else on earth from A to Zeee, Quite compares to the lovely likes of meeee. I surely must be nature's apo-geee. I've tried to think of a better thing but cannn't; The very best thing to be is an Elephannnt.
