Lyrics
Well, once the world was full of monkeys,
A long time ago.
And elephants with big long trunkies,
A long time ago.
And the elephants swam in the Zazafram Sea,
And the monkeys swung from the zilibum trees,
And life was silly as it could be
A long time ago.

One day the elephant was feelin’ spunky,
A long time ago.
So he went to have a talk with the monkey,
A long time ago.
And the elephant said, “Oh Lordy me,
I think I’m in love with the bumblebee.
Do you think she’s a little too small for me?”
A long time ago.

Now the monkey said, “You’re thinking like a donkey,
A long time ago.
She’s kinda small and you’re sorta chunky,
A long time ago.
So sit right down upon my knee
I’ll tell you why your love can never be
It’s a physical impossibility,
A long time ago”.

Now the elephant’s tears went plinkety plunky,
A long time ago.
And he went home to pack his trunkie,
A long time ago.
He said, “I see that bee was not for me”.
So he went and he married a little gray flea,
And they were as happy as they could be,
And they had children, one, two, three,
But if you want to know how, please don’t ask me,
It was a long time ago.
