what's that there?
And what's that under there?
And oh daddy, oh hey daddy,
hey look at over there
And where they goin' there,
and what they doin' there,
and daddy can I have that
big elephant over there
Hey who daddy'd my chair,
and what's she doin' there,
and oh daddy oh hey daddy
can I go over there
Hey daddy what's a square,
and where do we get air,
and daddy can I have that
big elephant over there.
My quizzical kid,
man he doesn't want anything hid,
he's forever demanding to know who
and what and why and where.
Inquisitive child,
sometimes the questions are wild,
like daddy can I have that
big elephant over there?
Don't wanna comb my hair,
and wear my teddy bear,
and oh daddy oh hey look at that
cowboy come and dare.
Hey, can I have a pair of
boots like that to wear?
And daddy, can I have that big elephant
over there?
Time will march, the years will go
The little fella's gonna grow
I gotta tell him what he
need s to know
Help him along so he'll know right
from wrong
gonna make him strong.
As life's parade goes trudging by,
he'll need to know some reasons why.
I don't have all the answers,
but I'll try be st that I can,
gonna help him plan so
he'll be a man.
Man, you give your kid your best
and hope he'll pass the
test when you
And finally send him out
into the world somewhere
But when he's grown,
I'm bettin'
Never will forget him
Daddy, can I have that big elephant
over there?
Hey, what they doin' there?
And how you work that there?
And, oh, daddy, oh, hey, daddy, hey,
what's that say up there?
Hey, daddy, what is fair?
How come I gotta share?
And, daddy, can I have that big
elephant over there?
