Lyrics When I See an Elephant Fly - Cliff Edwards, Jim Carmichael, The Hall Johnson Choir

When I See an Elephant Fly

I saw a peanut stand
Heard a rubber band
I saw a needle
That winked it’s eye
But i think i will have
Seen everything
When i see
An elephant fly
I saw a front porch swing
Heard a diamond ring
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie
But i think
I will have seen everything
When i see an elephant fly
I seen 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
But 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’d be done see’n
About everything
When i see an elephant fly
