EATING AN ELEPHANT

CHORUS

I'M EATING AN ELEPHANT, I'M EATING AN ELEPHANT,

I'M EATING AN ELEPHANT ONE BITE AT A TIME

I'VE GOT TWENTY MINUTES MAYBE LESS, AND MY BASEMENT IS A MESS

SO I'LL ONLY CLEAN ONE PILE I GUESS, ONE PILE AT A TIME

I CAN'T STAND THIS KITCHEN ANYMORE, IT'S OVERFLOWING ON THE FLOOR

SO I'LL ATTACK IT DRAWER BY DRAWER, ONE DRAWER AT A TIME

II HAD THE BLUES MOST EVERYDAY, NOTHING EVER WENT MY WAY

BUT NOW I SEE MY LIFE AS PLAY, ONE GAME AT A TIME

I'VE GOT AN OLD HABIT TO BREAK, YOU'D THINK MY LIFE WAS AT STAKE

BUT IT'S ONLY ONE DAY I'LL TAKE, ONE DAY AT A TIME

I COULD BE A COUNTRY STAR, BUT I WON'T GET VERY FAR

IF I DON'T PRACTICE MY GUITAR, ONE CHORD AT A TIME

I FINALLY BOUGHT A HOUSE LAST YEAR, I HAD TO PUT ASIDE MY FEAR

IT'LL BE MINE IN 30 YEARS, $656.10 AT A TIME

THE KID VERSES

I WANT TO WIN THE SPELLING BEE, BUT THE WORDS SEEMS SO BIG TO ME

BUT I CAN LEARN THEM ONE, TWO, THREE, ONE WORD AT A TIME

I KNOW THAT I AM NOT REAL TALL, AND I CAN HARDLY CATCH THE BALL

BUT I DON'T HAVE TO WIN THEM ALL, JUST ONE GAME AT A TIME

MOM SAID I HAVE TO CLEAN MY ROOM, BUT I'M NOT TOO GOOD WITH A BROOM

SO I'LL CLEAN UP TO THIS HAPPY TUNE, ONE PILE AT A TIME

I GOT A NEW COMPUTER GAME, THE WINNERS LIST DON'T HAVE MY NAME

BUT I WILL GET A BETTER AIM, ONE SHOT AT A TIME

I HAD TO TAKE THE GARBAGE OUT,

IT SEEMED LIKE SUCH A GREAT BIG MOUND

BUT I WON'T WHINE AND I WON'T POUT, I'LL JUST TAKE ONE BAG AT A TIME

I KNOW I NEED TO STAY IN SCHOOL, BUT MY FRIENDS THINK THAT I'M A FOOL

BUT I THINK LEARNING'S REALLY COOL, I GO ONE DAY AT A TIME

THANKSGIVING VERSE

I PILED THE FOOD ON WAY TOO HIGH, I WON'T HAVE ROOM FOR PUNKIN PIE

IF I EAT IT ALL I THINK I'LL DIE, ONE BITE AT A TIME
