I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band ,
I saw a needle that winked its eye .

But I think I will have seen everything

When I see an elephant fly.


I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring

I saw a polka-dot railroad tie .
But I think I will have seen everything
when I see an elephant fly.


I seen a clothes horse , he reared up and bucked
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck

I didn't see that, I only heard

But just to be sociable I'll take your word
I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat

And I just laughed till I thought I'd die
But I'd be done seen about everything

when I see an elephant fly.
