Id Like To Have An Elephant For Christmas

I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas But how you gonna get him neath the tree Just suppose he got stuck up in our chimney Then everyone would blame it all on me Lots of kids would rather have a pony And I bet that would be lot of fun But I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas Maybe Santa you can get me one I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas I read about him in the nursery rhyme I don't believe he'd be a lot of trouble If you feed him lots of peanuts all the time Lots of kids are crazy about the monkeys They like to watch 'em play out at the zoo I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas Santa won't you see what you can do I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas I promise I'll be good all through the year I'll wash my face and brush my teeth and study hard in school If on Christmas day my elephant is here I guess that I should ask for a puppy Or a kitten in my stocking Christmas day But I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas Maybe Santa you can find a way I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
