When they made the elephant,
they made him big and stout.
They didn't stop till they
made him a snout.
Made him a snout just as long as a rail
They didn't stop till they
made him a tail
Made him a tail just to fan the flies
They didn't stop till they
made him some eyes
Made him some eyes
just to peep over the grass
They didn't stop till they made him
