That's Not My Elephant
That's not my elephant
His bottom is too fat
It'd take a class of 2nd graders
To try and shift all that
That's not my elephant
Its trunk is far too thin
Like a strand of boiled spaghetti
Waving in the wind
That's not my elephant
As Ella Baker'd say
"Colour shouldn't matter"
But MY elephant is grey
That's not my elephant
There's just one simple reason
He'd never read the bill of rights
Without his glasses on
At last I've found my elephant
He's been on holiday
I never should have let him go
Or stray so far away
