I want a baby elephant for christmas
And only a baby elephant will do
Don't want a winter-candy-apple-
bath-and-body-scented candle
a baby elephant is all that i can handle
I want a baby elephant for christmas
to greet me in the morning by my bed
We'd make yummy christmas goodies
Decorate some sugar cookies
And all day long we'd play and sing
And dance to boogie woogies
i want a baby elephant for christmas
something to bring me joy in the new year
don't want perfect snowy weather, plastic gift card, or a sweater
a baby elephant would be so darn much better
Chorus:
oh santa don't you hear my cry
tears of longing hanging from my eye
i've been good all year
just want an ounce of cheer
oh santa don't forget me
i'll be happy if you'd let me
