Theres an elephant under my bed (1930's style Childrens Novelty Song)

1.
Theres an elephant under my bed.
I can see his big elephant head.
He can hide but he
never can fool me.
Theres an elephant under my bed.
Yes sir.
Theres an elephant under my bed.

 

2.

 

And when I hear that elephant snore
through his trunk it is hard to ignore.
Oh the noise it makes
keeps me wide awake.
I don't think I can take any more
No sir.
Of that elephants terrible snore.

 

Chorus:

 

It's not that I don't like elephants.
I love them but thats irrelevant
when I can't get a wink of sleep.

 

And even when I've tried counting them;
built up a big, wooly mountain then,
his snoring scares off all the sheep.

 

3.

 

Theres an elephant under my bed.
I can see his big elephant head.
He can hide but he
never can fool me.
Theres an elephant under my bed.
Yes sir.
Theres an elephant under my bed.

 

4.

 

And sometimes he will dream he's back home
and, through African jungles, still roams
then with tusks so large
he will start to charge
and I'll fall out of bed. It's like some
nightmare.
Oh, I do wish he would go back home.

 

Chorus:

 

It's not that I don't like elephants.
I love them but thats irrelevant
when I can't get a wink of sleep.

 

And even when I've tried counting them;
built up a big, wooly mountain then,
his snoring scares off all the sheep.
