When I See An Elephant Fly
Song by Cliff Edwards, Hall Johnson Choir, and Jim Carmichael
Did you ever see an elephant fly?
Well I seen a horse fly
I seen a dragon fly
I seen a house fly
I seen all that too
I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band
I seen a needle wink its eye
But I be done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly
When I see an elephant fly
I've seen a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring
I've seen a polka dot railroad tie
But I be done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly
I saw a clothes horse rear 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 about everything
When I see an elephant fly
Scatting
But I be done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly
When I see an elephant fly
