Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. One little elephant went out to play
Out on a spider’s web one day.
He had such enormous fun,
He called for another little elephant to come.
2. Two little elephants went out to play
Out on a spider’s web one day.
They had such enormous fun,
They called for another little elephant to come.
Three…Four…Five…Six…Seven…Eight…Nine…
Ten little elephants…They had such enormous fun
Until the web broke and they all fell down!
