Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephone


No! no! I mean an telephone
Who tried to use the telephone
Howe'er it was, he got his trunk

Entangled in the telephunk

The more he tried to get it free,

The louder buzzed the telephee

I fear I'd better drop the song

Of elephop and telephong

I never saw a purple cow,

I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow
I'd rather see than be one.
