I’d Like to Have an Elephant for Christmas

Hank Thompson

[Verse 1]
I'd like to have an 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

[Verse 2]
Lots of kids would rather have a pony
And I'll bet that that would be lot of fun
But I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
Maybe Santa, you can get me one

[Verse 3]
I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
I read about him in the nursery rhymes
I don't believe he'd be a lot of trouble
If you feed him lots of peanuts all the time

[Verse 4]
Lots of kids are crazy 'bout the monkeys
They like to watch 'em play out at the zoo
But I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
Santa, won't you see what you can do

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
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

[Outro]
I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
