See The Elephant |
| I saw Pete and Johnny too |
| Dressed up in their Sunday suits |
| Getting themselves all up to go |
| Down to Richmond to the traveling show |
| I fixed the gate like you told me to Done my chores like I always do And I won’t tell mama you let me go Down to Richmond to the traveling show |
| Please Papa can I go Down to Richmond to the traveling show |
| Please Papa don’t you say I can’t |
| I just want to see the elephant |
| I’ll borrow the truck from uncle Phil |
| You know I can drive it well |
| He won’t need it now that the hay’s all in Just let me go and see the elephant |
| Sister she can’t go with me This is not for her to see |
| Little brother you’ll get your chance |
| To go down and see the elephant |
| Little brother you’ll get your chance |
| To go down and see the elephant |
| They’re looking for a few good men |
| Could be war by summer’s end |
| Sure would hate it if I went |
| And never got to see the elephant |
| I saw Pete and Johnny too |
| Dressed up in their Navy Blues |
| Gettin' themselves all up to go |
| Down to Richmond to the traveling show |
