The Monkey and the Elephant

The Monkey and the Elephant - Bobby Bare

Okay kids I'm gonna sing you a song now

'Bout a monkey and an elephant

That it's all happened a long time ago

And whenever I say a long time ago

You all jump in there with me

Okay you ready

Well once the world was full of monkeys

A long time ago

It's good

And the elephants with the big long

Trunkies a long time ago

And the elephants swam in the Zazafram Sea

And the monkey swung from the Zilibum tree

And life was silly as it could be a long time ago

One day the elephant was feelin'

Spunky a long time ago

So she went to have a talk

With the monkey a long time ago

And the elephant said oh Lordy me

I think I'm in love with the bumblebee

Do you think she's a little too little

For me a long time ago

Now the monkey said

You're thinkin' like a donkey a long time ago

Ah she's so small

And you're sort a chunky a long time ago

So sit right down upon my knee

I'll tell you why your love can never be

It's a physical imposibility any old time at all

Now the elephant's tears

Went plunkity plunky a long time ago

Then he went home to pack his trunky a long time ago

He said I see that bee was not for me so he went

Married a little gray flee

And they were happy as they could be

And they had children one two three

But if you wanna know how

Please don't ask me it was a long long time ago
