E5    E5            D5      B5 
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band, 
        E5         E5        D5   D5 
I saw a needle that winked its eye. 
       F#5                   B5 
But I'd be done see'n about everything 
    E5       A5  A5  A5  D5 
When I  see an   el -    e  - phant fly.  
        E5         E5            D5      B5 
I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring, 
        E5        E5     D5    D5 
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie, 
      F#5                     B5 
But I'd be done see'n about everything 
    E5       A5  A5  A5  D5 
When I  see an   el -    e  - phant fly. 
 G5  E5  G5 A5  D5   D5 
Dah daht doo daht wow. 
   G5             E5       G5         G5 
I saw a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck, 
          D5              G5          G5       D5 
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck; 
   G5         E5  G5 
I didn't see that, I only heard, 
    E5        B5           A5   E5    A5 
But just to be sociable, I'll take your word.  
          E5      E5           D5        B5 
I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat, 
            E5            E5        D5    D5 
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die; 
    F#5                     B5 
But I'd be done see'n about everything 
    E5       A5  A5  A5  D5 
When I  see an   el -    e  - phant fly.
