lyrics

I think I've successfully sold my elephant!
I successfully sold my elephant!
I've successfully sold my elephant
to the Cusp Company!
The Cusp Company!
They like to buy elephants!

I like my Cusp Company!
They picking up my elephant today.
I hope they clean the street while they're here.
I hope they clean the street!

They are some shady company,
but I really don't see
what the problem is for me.
What the problem is for me.

They're picking up my elephant,
and it's going to be
really super fine, really, really super fine!
And you will surely see.
It's really super! Super fine!
And it's just right for me!

I think that elephant will be happy!
I think it will enjoy whereever they take him.
I really hope it's swell.
I don't know where they'll take him,
but, at least, that's just as well.

They will have to clean after him!
They will have to clean the mess!
And I hope they take him soon,
so that I can get some rest!

How do they do it?
How do they do it?
Will they use a brush?

How do they do it?
How do they do it?
Will they bring a broom?

I don't know! I don't know!
And I don't know what they'll do
with that elephant when they have him.
What will they do?

Will they do some experiments on him?
Will he be through?
That poor elephant!
That poor, poor dear!

But, I will be done with him!
I should not fear.
Yes, that elephant will be away from me.
That elephant will be gone.

And I will be much happier
and I'll miss his song!
I'll miss my elephant
because he will be gone.

Mr. Beany's Bitty Band

We're a one-person band fronted by a human who self-describes as a mad artist. We invented the "crapcapella" genre, and remain a proponent, though we now support the term "folk acapella" as well. We love improvised music as well as sheet music.
