I know the world s a crowded place,
And elephants do take up space,
But if it makes a difference, Lord,
I d gladly share my room and board.
A baby elephant would do …
But, if he brings his mother too,
There s Dad s garage. He wouldn t mind.
To elephants, he s more than kind.
But I wonder what my Mum would say
If their aunts and uncles came to stay!
