I saw an elephant surfing today I'll race you through the waves, he cried He jumped on his surfboard and sailed away As I gaped at the view before my eyes
His trunk held steady, his stance was firm As he leaned into the force He was graceful and sporty and ready to learn And he balanced right through the course
When a wave rose up, he turned a high flip Landing right back down on his board He steadied himself and waved his trunk With a style that he could afford
Next he balanced with one leg back His trunk stretched out to the front In an almost dainty arabesque Oh what an incredible stunt
As he came into sight the crowd cheered him on Their excitement held no bounds An elephant on a surfboard, they cried That’s something that really astounds
I saw an elephant surfing today He jumped on his surfboard and sailed out to sea Keep your eyes on the board, I heard him say And in no time at all you will look just like me.
