Lyrics
I'd like to have elephant for Christmas But how you gonna fit him in your sleigh? I don't believe he'd be a lot of trouble If you feed him lots of peanuts on the way

Lots of folks would rather have a puppy And I'll bet that that would be a lot of fun But I'd like to have elephant for Christmas Maybe, Santa, you can get me one

I'd like to have elephant for Christmas But how you gonna get him 'neath the tree? Just suppose that he got stuck up in our chimney Then everyone would blame it all on me

Lots of folks crazy 'bout the monkeys They like to watch them play out at the zoo But I'd like to have elephant for Christmas Santa, won't you see what you can do?

(Instrumental break)

I'd like to have elephant for Christmas I promise I'll be good all through the year I know it won't be easy but it sure would please me If on Christmas day my elephant is here

I guess that I should ask for a pony Or a kitten in my stocking Christmas day I'd like to have elephant for Christmas Maybe, Santa, you can find a way

I'd like to have elephant for Christmas Maybe, Santa, you can find a way
