The Elephant Song



The Elephant Song - Cool Tunes for Kids by Eric Herman

Kids' music artist, Eric Herman, sings an incredibly cute song all about elephants... sort of... The video was created by his wife, Roseann, with the help of their 3 year-old (at the time) daughter, Becca. The little girl in the song is Meghan Kleinlein from Amherst, NY, who was 6 at the time.

This version of "The Elephant Song" is on Eric's first CD, The Kid in the Mirror, and a new version featuring his daughters, Becca and Evee, is on Snail's Pace.



(Lyrics to The Elephant Song by Eric Herman and the Invisible Band)

Elephants. I like elephants.
Elephants. I like elephants.
I like how they swing through trees…
No… elephants don't swing through trees… that's monkeys.

Monkeys. I like monkeys.
I like how they swim in the ocean…
No, that's fish.

Fish. I like fish.
Fish. I like fish.
I like how they scratch at fleas, and sniff at trees, and bark at the mailman.
No, no, no, those are dogs.

Gotta like dogs.
Yeah!
Curled up on the windowsill purring, and chasing mice…
No, no, cats.

Cats. I like cats.
Cats. I like cats.
I like how they say, Cock-a-doodle-doo!
No, no, no, they go meow. You're thinking of roosters.

Roosters. I like roosters.
I like how they reach into beehives for the honey.
Uh uh… bears do that.

Bears, I like bears.
I like how they jump up how, to catch a fly, and sit on a lily pad.
No, no, no, no, no, no! Frogs.

Gotta like frogs.
Yeah.
Running through a maze for some cheese…
No, that's mice.

Mice. I like mice.
I like how they say, "He haw! He haw!"
No, they go sweak sweak. That's a donkey.

Donkeys, I like donkeys.
I like how they stomp through the jungle with their big, gray trunks.
No, that's an elephant.

Right, like I said, elephants, I like elephants.


Adding more words!
