That's Not My Elephant
That’s not my elephant!
No way, no how.
That elephant’s a bull -
Mine is a cow!
That’s an African elephant;
Everyone can see.
My elephant’s Italian -
Not from the Serengeti.
Don’t read to me the bill of rights;
I know my elephant by sound and sight.
Ella Fitzgerald may use Memorex,
But my elephant and me, we never forget.
So, take that elephant back to the Serengeti;
You’re not gonna leave that bull with me.
No, I am not an elephant hater,
You just can't pull one over on me like second graders.
One pet elephant is quite enough;
Making room for two is just too tough.
I’ll put out this vat of baked spaghetti
And my Italian elephant will come home to me.
