Today I met a yellow elephant, walking
through the park,
His trunk was red, his ears were green,
He’s the funniest elephant I’ve ever seen,
He was all dressed up in pink pajamas
And a hat with a pale blue brim
The kids all cheered when he appeared
And this is what they sang to him
Hello elephant, yellow elephant, how are
you today?
Hello elephant, yellow elephant, won’t you
come and play?
Hello elephant, yellow elephant, we don’t
know your name,
Hello elephant, yellow elephant, we’re so
glad you came,won’t you join our game?
The children loved that yellow elephant,
More than they can say,
They loved the way he waved his ears,
He’s the funniest elephant they seen for
years.
When he dips his trunk in the bucket of
water,
And drinks it till it’s dry,
The kids all shout,
You better watch out
Oh he’ll squirt you right in the eye.
Then they sang
Hello elephant, yellow elephant, how are
you today?
Hello elephant, yellow elephant, won’t you
come and play?
Hello elephant, yellow elephant, we don’t
know your name,
Hello elephant, yellow elephant, we’re so
glad you came, won’t you join our game?
