-3* 4-5*-6  -6   -6
I saw a pea-nut stand, 
  7  -6 -5*  5   5
heard a rub-ber band, 
-3* 5-5* -6  7   -6    7    -6  -7*
I saw a nee-dle that winked its eye. 
-7* 8  -9* -10 -9* -10  -9*  -10 -9* -5*
But I think I will have seen ev-‘ry-thing 
 -6  7 -7* 7  -6 -5* 5   -6
When I see an el-e-phant fly. 

-3* 4-5* -6    -6    -6
I saw a front porch swing, 
  7  -6 -5*  5    5
heard a dia-mond ring, 
-3* 4-5* -6 7  -6   7    -6  -7*
I saw a pol-ka-dot rail-road tie. 
-7* 8  -9* -10 -9* -10  -9* -10 -9*  -5*
But I think I will have seen ev-‘ry-thing 
 -6  7 -7* 7  -6 -5* 5   -5*
When I see an el-e-phant fly.

-5*-6-5*   8     8    -5*  -6 -5*  -8 
I saw a clothes horse rar’ up and buck 
 8    -7* -7* -9*-6* 7  -7*
They tell me that a man made 
-6-6*  7  -7*   -3*
a veg-‘ta-ble “truck”
-5*-6 -5*  8   8  -5*-6 -5* -8
I did-n't see that I on-ly heard 
 8   -7* -9*-6* 7 -7*  8
But just to be so-cia-ble 
-9*  -10   -9   -7*
I'll take their word 

-3* 4-5* -6  -6   -6
I saw a lan-tern slide
 7 -5* -5*  5   5
Saw an old cow hide
-3* 4  -5*   -6     7  -6    7    -6  -7*
And I just laugh’d till I thought I'd die 
-7* 8  -9* -10 -9* -10   -9* -10 -9* -5*
But I think I will have seen ev-‘ry-thing 
 -6  7 -7* 7  -6 -5* 5   -5*
When I see an el-e-phant fly.
