One Little Elephant Balancing Lyrics
One little elephant balancing,
step by step on a piece of string.
Thought it was such tremendous fun,
that ....... called for another elephant to come!
Two little elephants balancing,
step by step on a piece of string.
Thought it was such tremendous fun,
that ....... called for another elephant to come!
Three little elephants balancing,
step by step on a piece of string.
Thought it was such tremendous fun
that ....... called for another elephant to come!
