The Elephant Submitted by Jenni
The elephant goes like this and that, this and that, this and that.
(Walk heavily and stomp feet loudly)
The elephant goes like this and that, cause he's so big and fat!
(Puff up cheeks and stretch out arms)

He has no fingers and has no toes, He has no fingers and has no toes.
(Wiggle fingers; wiggle toes)
He has no fingers and has no toes, But goodness, gracious, what a nose!
(Stick arms out like a long trunk.)

Elephant's Trunk Submitted by Tina
The elephant has a trunk for a nose (bend at waist, hold arms down like trunk)
And up and down is the way it goes (sway arms)
He wears such a saggy, baggy hide (sway arms)
Do you think two elephants could fit inside? (shrug)

An Elephant Went Out To Play (Action Song) Submitted by Carol
An elephant went out to play
On a spider web one day
He (she) was having so much fun
He (she) invited another one
Come on (name)
Note: Have your children stand in a circle with one in the middle, each verse have them invite another student in.

The Animal Fair Submitted by Debra
I went to the animal fair, the birds and beasts were there.
The big baboon by the light of the moon, was combing his auburn hair.
You ought to have seen the monk, he climbed up the elephants trunk,
The elephant sneezed and fell to his knees
And what became of the monk, the monk, the monk.

 

One Little Elephant


(Select one student to begin.)

One little elephant went out to play
Out on a spider's web one day. (Student dances around in circle.)
S/He had such enormous fun,
S/He called for another elephant to come. (Student stops, turns toward class, and calls another student to join [Student's Name, come here!].)

Two little elephants went out to play,
Out on a spider's web one day. (Students dance around in circle.)
They had such enormous fun,
They called for another elephant to come. (All students stop and turn toward class; last student called calls another student to join [Student's Name, come here!].)

(Continue playing until all students are in the circle.)

[Total number of students] went out to play, (All students dance in circle.)
Out on a spider's web one day.

'Til one little elephant had to go. (All students stop. Call one student, saying "[Student's name], it's time to go!" This student then returns to his or her seat.)

[Number of students remaining in circle] went out to play, (Students dance in circle.)
Out on a spider's web one day.

'Til one little elephant had to go. (All students stop. The last student to return to his or her seat stands and calls another student, saying "[Student's name], it's time to go!" This student then returns to his or her seat.)

An Elephant Goes added 4-30-98 Submitted by: Kathy

An elephant goes like this and that (walk feet in front of you)
He's terrible wide (Use arms out at side)
And terrible fat (same)
He has two fingers (wiggle indexes)
He had two toes (wiggle feet)
BUT, goodness gracious WHAT A NOSE!!!! (pull on pretend trunk in front of nose)


Eletelephony added 8-28-98 by Laura E. Richards

Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant
No, no! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)
Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

THE GREAT GRAY GHOST ELEPHANT

In deepest darkest Africa there is a legend concerning the Great Gray Ghost Elephant. Every year after the rains the great gray ghost elephant arose from the mists and wandered throughout the land at dawn. When he came to a village he would stop and sniff the air, then he would either go around the village or through it. If he went around the village, the village would have a prosperous year, if he went through it there would be hunger and drought.

The village of Wat-cha had been visited three years in a row by the elephant and things were very bad indeed, and the village leader Ging-ganga, was very worried, as was the village medicine man Hay-la-shay. Together they decided to do something about the problem.

Now Ging-ganga and his warriors were huge men with big shields and Spears and they decided to stand in the path of the elephant and shake their shields and spears at it to frighten it off.

Hay-la-shay and his followers were going to cast magic spells to deter the elephant by shaking their medicine bags as the elephant approached, which made the sound shalawally shallawlly shallawally.

Very early in the morning of the day the Great Gray Elephant came the villagers gathered at the edge of the village. On one side were Ging-gana and his warriors (indicate right side of camp fire circle) on the other was Hay-la-shay and his followers (indicate left side of camp fire)

As they waited the warriors sang softly about their leader;

Ging Gang Gooli, Gooli, Gooli, Gooli Watcha

Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Goo

Ging Gang Gooli, Gooli, Gooli, Gooli Watcha

Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Goo

As they waited the medicine men sang of their leader;

Hayla, Hayla Shayla Heyla Shayla Halya Ho-o-o!

Hayla, Hayla Shayla Heyla Shayla Halya Ho-o-o!

And shook their medicine bags,

shallawally shallawlly shallawally shallawally.

And from the river came the mighty great gray elephant's reply

(Have all the adults do this)

Oompha Oompah Ompah Oompah!

The elephant was coming closer so the warriors beat their

shields and sang louder,

(signal warriors to stand and beat thighs in time)

Ging Gang Gooli, Gooli, Gooli, Gooli Watcha

Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Goo

Ging Gang Gooli, Gooli, Gooli, Gooli Watcha

Ging Gang Goo Ging Gang Goo.

Then the medicine men rose and sang loudly

Hayla, Hayla Shayla Heyla Shayla Halya Ho-o-o!

Hayla, Hayla Shayla Heyla Shayla Halya Ho-o-o!

And shook their medicine bags

shallawally shallawlly shallawally shallawally.

And the mighty great gray elephant turned aside and went around the village saying,

Oompha Oompah Ompah Oompah!

There was great rejoicing in the village and all the villagers joined together to sing,

Ging Gang Gooli........

Little Elephant
(English)


Little elephant, little elephant,
You have a long long nose.
Yes sir, my mother has a long nose, too.

Little elephant, little elephant,
Who do you like best in the world?
Well, I like my mother best in the world.

One Elephant

One big elephant
Was balancing so carefully
On a spider's web.
When he realized how strong it was,
He then called along another elephant.

Two big elephants
Were balancing so carefully
On a spider's web.
When they realized how strong it was,
They called in another elephant.

Three big elephants...

Four big elephants...

Five big elephants...

BIG GRAY ELEPHANT

The big gray elephant slowly walks.
She doesn't make a sound.
She swings her trunk from left to right
When she puts her feet on the ground.
Swing, swing, left and right,

And feeds himself with his nose?

Look over there,

Cycling round and round

It's enormous; it's an Elephant,

Ever so dainty and elegant,

With one tail here and one tail there

ONE ELEPHANT

One elephant
one fine day
went on a spider's web to play
He found it such enormous fun
so he called for another elephant to come.
Oh elephant!

Two elephants
one fine day....

When you hear the elephant music you're hearing what they mean to make

Elephant Man from the album Head Music

I love that deafening, thundering sound
That sounds like buildings tumbling down
And people wish that they weren't around
When we all rock and roll into town
We hear those fearful, piercing screams
The kind you find on cinema screens
And if they're fit to burst at the seams
If they could say what all of this means
I am, I am the elephant man
It is incredible how I can
Look just like an elephant, man,
Just like, just like my elephant fans
We love that satisfying, rattling crash
The sound of registers full of cash
We'll be all over your town like a rash
We'll steal your children and smoke all your hash
I am, I am the elephant man
It is incredible how I can
Look just like an elephant, man,
Just like, just like my elephant fans
I love that deafening, thundering sound
The sounds like buildings tumbling down
And people wish that they weren't around
When we all rock and roll into town
I am, I am the elephant man
It is incredible how I can
Look just like an elephant, man,
Just like, just like my elephant fans
We are, we are the elephant men
Take heed, we'll be stampeding again
Look out all of you fairweather friends
Because elephants never forget

THE ELEPHANT Sung to:"The Mulberry Bush"

The elephant goes like this and that, this and that, this and that. (Walk heavily and stomp feet) 
The elephant goes like this and that, 
Cause he's so big and he's so fat! (Puff up cheeks and stretch out arms)

He has no fingers and has no toes, He has no fingers and has no toes. (Wiggle fingers; wiggle toes) 
He has no fingers and has no toes, 
But goodness, gracious, what a nose! (Pull hands out from face to suggest a long trunk.)

But it makes more sense
To be near the riverside

'Cos the grass grows high
It makes more sense
To be near to you baby

The very, very, very, very sad truth is
I never think sensibly
Thr very, very, very, very, very sad truth is
I never think

Getting tired
Getting lied to

So available

To take a look

To take a look
Would bring me down

Orange Goblin - Turbo Effalunt(Elephant)

A million miles an hour, with an overloaded mind
Ridin' on an asteroid into a different space in time
Satellites of madness are building mushrooms in the sky
Through a magic universe, into the neon light

It's a lonely ride

Fly on through a mountain like a rocket to my brain
Watch the turbo elephants go around the sun again
Catch the shooting shar that's heading straight towards the door
Take it while I've got it 'cos you won't see me no more

It's a lonely ride

Woman, didn't I say I didn't want you in my head
Oh woman, said I only wanted you to stay in my bed
'Cos maybe, if we stick together we'll find our own way home
'Cos oh baby, that's the best damn journey that I've ever grown

It's a lonely ride

Dumbo - When I See An Elephant Fly

I saw a peanut stand,
Heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked it's eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.

I saw a front porch swing,
Heard a diamond ring,
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.]

I seen a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck
And they tell me a man made a vegetable truck
I didn't see that, I only heard
But just to be sociable, I'll take your word.

I heard a fireside chat,
I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die.
But I'd been done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly.

Elephant Girl by Squeeze from the album Piccadilly Collection



She's interested in me
I'm interested in her
But there's a distance
Each morning as she walks
Our eyes exchange a thought
Our hearts, an interest
I've seen her at the club
Expanding with the funk
She looks so brilliant
She sticks close to her friends
And when the music ends
She is the indian

I'd like to meet the elephant girl
I feel we know each other so well
From eyes that meet the love they seek
Interested to get close to you
Interested to get close to you

I'm interested to meet
The girl that looks at me
I will be trying
Her colour unlike mine
Her hair the plaited vine
I will be climbing

My leg is always pulled
By friends who really would
But say they wouldn't
The joke's against my heart
Immediately she's barred
Their hearts are wooden

I'd like to meet, etc...

I'm interested in her
She's interested in me
Her distance shortens
She walks towards the light
I walk towards the lines
That seem important

I'm counting up to ten
By five she's gone again
Into the distance
I'll try again to nudge my
Courage for the love/look
Without resistance

I'd like to meet, etc...
Effervescing Elephant by Syd Barret from the album Barrett


An effervescing elephant
With tiny eyes, and great big trunk
Once whispered to the tiny ears
The ears of one inferior
That by next june he'd die, oh yeah!
Because the tiger would roam
And the little one said oh my goodness i must stay at home
And everytime i hear a growl
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
And i'll be really safe you know
The elephant he told me so
And everyone was nervvy, oh yeah!
And the message was spread
To zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
Who wollowed in the mud and chewed
His spicy hippoplancton food
And tended to ignore the word
Prefering to survey a herd
Of stupid water bison, oh yeah!
And the jungle took fright
And ran around for all the day and the night
But all in vain because you see
The tiger came and said to me,
"you know i wouldn't hurt not one of you
I much prefer something to chew
You're all too scant, oh yeah!"
He ate the elephant...
Elephant by A-Camp from the album A-Camp


I caught you smiling
With pointed teeth
What once was beautiful
Has turned bitter and cheap
So now there's nothing
I can do for you
But leave your roses
Out to die

I misbehaved
I'm in your way
I'm in your way
Like an elephant

Gentle smiling
With pointed teeth
Now there's a war between
My high hopes and me
So this is how you put
An end to things
By cutting throats
With a smile

I misbehaved
I'm in your way
In your way
Like an elephant

But in the corner
Of my mind
A little angel saying
Don't waste your love
You love too much

Title: Pink Elephant

A bum was in my trash
He's pickin' out all the cans firewater
Burnin' up his poor swollen glands
The lysol and listerine
It went to his head
He eats boot black rotted on a
Piece of white bread
He did the pink the pink elephant
Blinded by the sauce you know
I'd rather stay bent

Sleazy p. martini ran the pink elephant
With hot-pink curtains where the sloe gin decants
A shave and a haircut knock knock
Would for sure get you in to see
The cherry poppin' daddies play
The lampshades were zebra skin
We did the pink the pink elephant
Blinded by the sauce you know
I'd rather stay bent

My mouth is like a circus but i'm always in debt
I'd never pass the bar unless i thought it was wet
But that's the way they sucker me to my
Final dissolve
'cause if you set'em up i'm drinkin'em down
I did the pink the pink elephant
Blinded by the sauce you know
I'd rather stay bent


Celebration Of The Birthday Of The Elephant God by Steve Kilbey from the album Remindlessness

I know you don't believe anymore
So i wonder where you got the knowledge
With our desire to acquire more
In the service of your master
You can take a faster door
I know you don't pretend anymore
I wonder where you got the silver
I wonder how you got the power
I wonder where you got the fire
It isn't that surprising
A spiritual uprising, could affect things now
Down the street the celebration's
Reached disintegration, surging past anyhow
In the service of your master
You can take a faster door

Servants all we ebb and flow
Remindless as we come and go
Changes (changeless ?) as we die and grow
Cold dead womb and troubled sea
Resonate in sympathy
I know one day you'll come to me

With the faint whir of leathery wings
Evoking all impossible things
Eternal twilight feels so cold
When the money's all gone your love's been sold
The elephant god sits impassive
His ivory tusks are black and massive
We swing and we curve and we splinter in fits
Drum 'round his throne where he patiently sits
The law of the jungle, the jungle of lore
Devil of the rich, god of the poor
In this frenzied crowd i lose my isolation
As we merge together in celebration
The elephant god sits unmoved
His distant eyes, our tongues and grooves (are tongued and grooved ?)
The noise and the smell and the terrible dancers
Burning questions and nebulous answers

Servants all we ebb and flow
Remindless as we come and go
Changes as we die and grow

Cold dead moon the children see
Resonate in sympathy
I know one day you'll come to me

Our immaterial world is best
My fingers chase remindlessness
But just slowly come to rest

I know the walrus wasn't paul
In el dorado just once more
You're everything and even more (i'm lookin' for ?)

The songs of dancers fade away
2001 became the way
I'll pay your ransom for today

And it still seems such a waste
One brief life, one brief taste
All the phantoms have been chased
To eternity



Elephant Gun by David Lee Roth from the album Eat Em and Smile

Every inch of you looks like a lady
So don't get caught here in the city at nite
And if you wanna take a chance and go down crazy
I sell protection for a price

(pre-chorus)
Well, call it love or call it murder
This is the crime of the century
No, don't point that thing on me

(chorus)
All in all my aim is better
Shots as clean as a mean goal-getter
A bad man on the run
I'm gonna be your dark stranger
Contact man 'tween you and danger
I'll protect you baby with my elephant gun

Every minute counts and you play both sides of the law
Mm, these dangorous days
Mean nine lives doin' anything at all
A lot of folks been blown away

(pre-chorus)

(chorus)

Bang!

(pre-chorus)

Don't try to use that thing on me

A Elephant

When people call this beast to mind They marvel more and more At such a little tail behind So large a trunk before.

I once saw an Elephant!

I once saw an ELEPHANT
Ooh but he was elegant,
Dressed in his best with a big bow-tie,
Playing on a PIANO,
Going hammer, hammer, hammer,
and the audience all went Oooh!
Playing on a PIANO going hammer, hammer, hammer,
and the audience all went Oooh!

What A Nose!

(tune: Little Teapot)
Elephants are big and tall and fat,
They sway their trunks both this way and that.
Elephants have big ears and big toes,
But goodness gracious....what a nose!!

Elmer

His name is Elmer Elephant.
His lips and trunk are one.
And when I tried to pick him up,
I found he weighed a ton!

The Hole In The Elephant's Bottom
Sung by Archie Tawney
at the Open Door Folk Club on 2 June 2002

My ambition's to go on the stage
And now you can see that I've got on.
In the pantomime I am engaged
To play the elephant's bottom.

Now the girls all think that I'm it
When they sit in the stalls I can spot 'em
And I wink at the ones in the pit
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom.

Now this part doesn't have any words
There is nothing that can be forgotten
I spend all my time pushing property turds
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom.

One day we played in a farce
And they stitched up the backside with cotton
It split and showed all of me bum
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom.

One day two queers came in
On the stage before anyone could stop 'em
But they gave me a lovely bouquet
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom.

The manager said 'That's all wrong!'
As they sit in the stage you could spot 'em
So I use a telescope now
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom.

My landlady packs up my meals
One day I went out and forgot 'em
So now every day she feeds me with buns
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom.

There are pockets inside of the cloth
For some bottles of beer if you've got 'em
But they hiss and they boo if I blow out the froth
Through the hole in the elephant's bottom.

Now the fellow who plays the front part
As an actor he is simply rotten
Through bad beer he does nothing but fart
While I play the elephant's bottom.

Some people may think this song good
Others may think that it's rotten
Those who don't like it can just push their nose
Up the whole of an elephant's bottom.

Where Is the Rain

The giraffe and the elephant went for a walk.
They stopped in some shade and started to talk;
"I wish it would rain," said the giraffe with a sigh.
"I'm tired of watching the clouds pass us by!"
"Yes," said the elephant, "Where is the rain?
I wish I could eat fresh green leaves again.
The sun is so hot and the land is so dry;
When will the rain fall from the sky?"
Later in the day the sky turned grey,
The flying ants flew out to say,
"The rain is coming! We smell it in the air!
And in the distance, thunder we hear!"
The giraffe and the elephant looked up at the sky
And heard the black eagle give forth his cry,
"The rain has come, The rivers will flow;
The dry season is over; now the green grass will grow!"

An Elephant Stepped on My Foot

While chillin one day not knowin what to do, I thought I'd get my friend to go to the zoo. We didn't see an elephant or a cage. Someone had put them on the stage. There were limps, bumps, and all kinds of grinds. You know these elephants wouldn't stay in line. I said I know just what they need, let's teach them all the "Wayman Reed!" We praticed and praticed all day long to teach these elephants the elephant song. They looked at us with tight lips, just kept on movin those big elephant hips. An elephant dancing is a thing to see, and that's when I noticed they were lookin at me. I said, come on elephants, come on, let's go, and that's when one of them stepped on my toe.

Circus Elephant No. 2

Elephants walking along the trails
Are holding hands by holding tails.
Trunks and tails are handy things,
When elephants walk in circus rings.

Elephants work and elephants play.
And elephants walk and feel so gay.

And when they walk it never fails
They're holding hands by holding tails.

Oh! Elephant

Oh elephant, oh elephant,
I see you're very big
(place arms on sides and spread them out)
Oh elephant, Oh elephant,
I see your long, long trunk.
(Put arm out in front of face to make a trunk)
Oh elephant, oh elephant,
I see your tiny eyes.
(point to eyes)
Oh elephant, oh elephant,
I see your huge big ears.
(point to ears)
Oh elephant, oh elephant,
I see your tiny tail.
(Pat lower part of back)
Oh elephant, oh elephant,
I see you tromp, tromp, tromp.
(March around)
Way beyond the grass

An Elephant!

An elephant goes like this and that,
(pat knees)
He's terribly big,
(hands high)
And he's terribly fat;
(hands wide)
He has no fingers,
(wiggle fingers)
And has no toes,
(touch toes)
But goodness gracious,
What a long nose!
(curl hands away from nose)

Mr Elephant

This is a Japanese children's song that the Zous like..

Mr. Elephant, Mr. Elephant,
you have a long nose, don't you?
That's true, My mother
has a long one, too.

Los Elefantes

In this song, "balanceaba" is sometimes sung in place of "columpiaba." Children add one elephant to the spider web in each verse for long as they wish to continue singing. A version of "Los elefantes" may be found in in De Colores and Other Latin-American Folk Songs for Children by Jose-Luis Orozco.

Un elefante se columpiaba

One elephant swung

Sobre la tela de una araña.

On the web of a spider.

Y como veiron que resistía

And when he saw that it held him,

Fueron a llamar otro elefante.

He called another elephant.

 

 

Dos elefantes se columpiaba

Two elephants swung

Sobre la tela de una araña.

On the web of a spider.

Y como veiron que resistía

And when they the saw that it held them,

Fueron a llamar otro elefante.

They called another elephant.

 

 

Tres elefantes...

Three elephants...

Cuatro elefantes...

Cinco elefantes...

Five elephants...

The elephant has a trunk for a nose (hands clashed in front swinging back and forward; body bent at waist) 
And up and down is the way it goes. 
He wears such a saggy, baggy hide, 
Do you think two elephants could fit inside?

Elephants Love A Bath

sing along
When elephants take a bath
To see what makes you laugh
Ha ha
There's water flying everywhere
Splish, splash
When elephants take a bath
They splish, splosh, splash
And bish, bosh, bash
It's such a happy sound
And you can hear them trumpeting
From miles and miles around
When elephants take a bath
They're dainty and oh so neat
They wash behind each elephant ear
And clean their elephant feet
When elephants take a bath
Each one of them dives and dunks
They jump straight in they're ready to swim
Cause everyone sports a trunk
They splish, splosh, splash
And bish, bosh, bash
It's such a happy sound
And you can hear them trumpeting
From miles and miles around
When elephants take a bath
They love each other's company
The water is the place to be
And don't you wish that you could see
The elephants take a
The elephants take a
The elephants take a bath

The Elephant's Trunk

Written By: Elsie Jean
Music By: George H. Gartlan

The elephant carries
A great big trunk,
He never packs it with clothes:
No socks, no shirt,
And no overcoat,
Yet he takes it wherever he goes.

Eek!  Ellie's scared of elephants
She loves to run away
For words that start with E
The people run to see!
Words like Eek!  Ellie's scared of elephants
E E E E E E E E

Oh, I wish I was a great big elephant. 
Oh, I wish I was a great big elephant. 
Oh, wouldn't it be neat, to have a trunk to help me eat.
Oh, I wish I was a great big elephant. 

The Mad Gardener's Song

from 'Sylvie and Bruno', Lewis Carroll, 1832-1898

He thought he saw an Elephant
That practised on a fife:
He looked again, and found it was
A letter from his wife.
'At length I realize,' he said,
'The bitterness of Life!'

He thought he saw a Buffalo
Upon the chimney-piece:
He looked again, and found it was
His Sister'ss Husband's Niece.
'Unless you leave this house,' he said,
'I'll send for the Police!'

He thought he saw a Rattlesnake
That questioned him in Greek:
He looked again, and found it as
The Middle of Next Week.
'The one thing I regret,' he said,
'Is that it cannot speak!'

He thought he saw a Banker's Clerk
Descending from the 'bus:
He looked again, and found it was
A Hippopotamus.
'If this should stay to dine,' he said,
'There won't be much for us!'
  He thought he saw a Kangaroo
That worked a coffee-mill:
He looked again, and found it was
A Vegetable-Pill.
'Were I to swallow this,' he said,
'I should be very ill!'

He thought he saw a Coach-and-Four
That stood beside his bed:
He looked again, and found it was
A Bear without a Head.
'Poor thing,' he said, 'poor silly thing!
It's waiting to be fed!'

He thought he saw an Albatross
That fluttered round the lamp:
He looked again, and found it was
A Penny-Postage-Stamp.
'You'd best be getting home,' he said,
'The nights are very damp!'

He thought he saw a Garden-Door
That opened with a key:
He looked again, and found it was
A Double Rule of Three:
'And all its mystery,' he said,
'Is clear as day to me!'

He thought he saw an Argument
That proved he was the Pope:
He looked again, and found it was
A Bar of Mottled Soap.
'A fact so dread,' he faintly said,
'Extinguishes all hope!'

Japanese Traditional Songs: Elephant's Song

The Elephant's Song



zou-san, zou-san
Mr. Elephant, Mr. Elephant


ohana ga nagai no ne
Your nose is long, you know


sou yo, kaasan mo
That's right, my mama('s) also


nagai no yo
is long.

VOCAB:

zou san - 'zou' means elephant; san means 'mister' or 'miss' and is added for cuteness
ohana - 'hana' means nose; the 'o' before it is honorific and is often used before nouns when speaking to others
ga - the subject marker; (what is before 'ohana' is the subject)
nagai - long
no ne - This was translated as 'you know,' but really this is one of those things that can't be directly translated into English; You have to get a feel for it. Both the 'no' and the 'ne' are used when explaning something and showing emotions. It is used mainly by women and children or often when talking to a child.
sou yo - 'sou' means 'yes' 'that's right'... 'yo' is added for emphasis
kaa san mo - 'kaa san' is mother, mama; 'mo' means also, too
nagai no yo - long; the 'no yo' is like the 'no ne' but the difference is the 'ne' is less sure than the 'yo.'

Elephant

The elephants are in their heaven.
Leaving us to our own hell.
Pointing fingers after rifles.
Point is lost in rifle shells.
The point is lost on them.
Alcohol will see you through this.
Waits for you to wash your hands.
Shaking for the things gone skyward.
Up above the troubled lands.
But you've got it on your hands.

We want to fly like angels.
We float like rocks in water.
I know these birds are angels.
We meet like oil and water.
Say good night.
The night is over.
Say goodbye.
Goodbye forever.

Tiny things are quick to leave us.
Who could know we needed them?
The wife and kids, the aspirations.
Gone away to Auntie M's.
You forgot to water them.
Rainy days are now upon us.
We are wet with nothing saved.
Rainy days are here forever.
Here forever and a day.
What a day it's been.

We want to fly like angels.
We float like rocks in water.
I know these birds are angels.
We meet like oil and water.
Say good night.
The night is over.
Say goodbye.
Goodbye.

Say good night.
The night is over.
Say goodbye.
Goodbye forever.

Elephants At Work and Play

A fingerplay with numbers
As 5 little elephants marched through the grass
march fingers of right hand
They decided to stop and have a music class,
The first blew his trumpet and announced he'd be teacher.
make a trumpet of fists and blow
The next gave a call of the wild jungle animal
cup hands to mouth, make a low eerie sound
The third and fourth elephants trumpeted a song,
make a trumpet and blow twice
But the last little elephant just followed along,
Then he left the others as he didn't care to play,
And he carried tree logs the rest of the day.
link the little finger under two fingers of the left hand and carry them away
