My song for the elephants in honor of World Elephant Day: My Elephant Oh my ELEPHANT What are we to do? The sign says no elephants What are we to do? Please, sir Don’t leave my friend out in the rain His paint will grow moldy His satin palanquin will stain His wheels will fall off and one by one roll away The sign says no elephants What are we to do? If we bust this door to smithereens What good would it do? There are going to be some doorways we can’t fit through, we two Oh my elephant It’s a quandary of the heart Can’t hold on too tight Can’t be apart I can’t stay here in the orphanage While you waste away in a zoo And anyway, I’m only an orphan if I don’t have you Alcyone, my maximum friend Was a star where he came from Center of a galaxy Brightest of the seven suns It’s a storybook friendship The legend of us We are two We are one We are everything (and everywhere) at once Oh my elephant We’d best be moving on Swinging our trunks and our brush-tip tails Singin’ our travelin’ song Oh my elephant It’s time for moving on The signs say No Elephants If we let them have their way The signs say No Elephants If they get their killing day Two’s company Three’s a stampede It’s all about the ivory, the gold, the greed Oh my elephant We’d best be moving on Oh my elephant It’s time for moving on
