Song Lyrics

(Ha-ha-ha, did you ever see an elephant fly?)
(Well, I seen a horsefly and I seen a dragonfly)
(Yeah, I seen a housefly, ha-ha-ha-ha)

Yeah, I seen all that too

I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked its eye
But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything
When I see a elephant fly (What d'you say, boy?)

I said when I see a elephant fly

I seen a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring
I seen a polka-dot railroad tie
But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything
When I see a elephant fly

I saw a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn't see that, I only heard
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 be done seen 'bout ev'rything
When I see a elephant fly

Well, I be done seen 'bout ev'rything
When I see a elephant fly (With the wings)
When I see an elephant fly

Ned Washington, Oliver Wallace
