And The Elephant Played Ukulele

</>Got together with some friends downtown, Played some songs, and we all got down; Flamingo, and Lizard, and Elephant too, Made some sounds that we thought were true- We used to get down in the Brooklyn zoo- And the elephant played ukulele. Flamingo did horns with only his bill, And the Lizard did zither, up and down the hill; Only Lizard had an opposable thumb, But we beat out the boards to sound our drum- From miles away the people’d all come- And the elephant played ukulele. Flamingo was flashy in her drapes of pink, And Lizard was faster than a sneaky wink, While Elephant was broad, and sat on a tree, And it was mostly him that you'd see- With Flamingo and Lizard, one on each knee- And the elephant played ukulele. Those were the days I truly miss, And sometimes Snake came to add his hiss; He could hiss just like a tambourine, And the people’s faces, you should’ve seen- The sound was everything, when it got mean- And the elephant played ukulele.
