I saw seventeen pink sugar elephants Sitting under a chestnut tree I said good morning pink sugar elephants But they wouldn'™t speak to me
Each had two eyes but they couldn't see me there Each had four legs but they couldn'€™t go anywhere And so we just sat that early autumn morning Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere
I walked up to one pink sugar elephant Asked why wouldn'€™t he speak to me But he was a factory made pink sugar elephant Given to children for treats after tea
He had two eyes but he couldn'€™t see me there He had four legs but he couldnâ't go anywhere And so we just sat that early autumn morning Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere
Why would I ever think an elephant Made of sugar would speak to me? But what were seventeen pink sugar elephants Doing under a chestnut tree?
