I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
C G Em
But how you gonna get him neath the tree
G D7 G
Just suppose he got stuck up in our chimney
C D7 G
Then everyone would blame it all on me
D7 G
Lots of kids would rather have a pony
D7 G
And I bet that would be lot of fun
D7 G
But I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
C D7 G
Maybe Santa you can get me one

I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
C G Em
I read about him in the nursery rhyme
G D7 G
I don't believe he'd be a lot of trouble
C D7 G
If you feed him lots of peanuts all the time
D7 G
Lots of kids are crazy about the monkeys
D7 G
They like to watch 'em play out at the zoo
D7 G
I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
C D7 G
Santa won't you see what you can do
D7 G
I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
C G Em
I promise I'll be good all through the year
G D7 G
I'll wash my face and brush my teeth and study hard in school
C D7 G
If on Christmas day my elephant is here
D7 G
I guess that I should ask for a puppy
D7 G
Or a kitten in my stocking Christmas day
D7 G
But I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas
C D7 G
Maybe Santa you can find a way
