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 wont tell mama you let me go

Down to Richmond to the traveling showPlease Papa can I go

Down to Richmond to the traveling show

Please Papa dont you say I cant

I just want to see the elephantIll borrow the truck from uncle Phil

You know I can drive it well

He wont need it now that the hays all in

Just let me go and see the elephantSister she cant go with me

This is not for her to see

Little brother youll get your chance

To go down and see the elephantLittle brother youll get your chance

To go down and see the elephantTheyre looking for a few good men

Could be war by summers end

Sure would hate it if I went

And never got to see the elephantI saw Pete and Johnny too

Dressed up in their Navy Blues

Gettin themselves all up to go

Down to Richmond to the traveling show

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
