Dat Dere
Hey mama, what's that there, and what's that doing there?
Hey mama, up here, mama, hey, look at that over there!
Hey, what's that doing there, and where're they going there?
And mama, can I have that big elephant over there?
Who's that in my chair, and what's he doing there?
Mama, hey mama, can I go over there?
Hey mama, what is square, and where do we get air?
And mama, oh hey, can I have that big elephant over there?
Quit talking, there's no more anything here
Forever to manage to know who and why and where
Quit that, child, sometimes the questions get filed
Like mama, can I have that big elephant over there?
Don't wanna comb my hair, and where's my teddy bear?
Mama hay, look at the cowboy coming there
And can I have a pair of boots like that to wear?
And mama, can I have that big elephant over there?
The time will march, days, years will go
That little lady's going to grow
And I gotta tell her what she needs to know
I'll help her along so she'll be strong
She'll know right from wrong
As life's parade goes marching by
She's gonna need to know some reasons why
I don't have all the answers
But I'll try to do what I can
I'll make him a plan
You've give a kid your best and hope she passe'll the test
And I find it so hard, I taught him well
But though she's going, I'm betting I never will forget
Mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
Hey, why they do that there, and how you put that there?
Hey mummy, up here! Hey mummy, what that say up there?
Hey mummy, what is fair, how come I have to share?
And mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
Hey mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
And mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
Hey mama, up here, mama, hey, look at that over there!
Hey, what's that doing there, and where're they going there?
And mama, can I have that big elephant over there?
Who's that in my chair, and what's he doing there?
Mama, hey mama, can I go over there?
Hey mama, what is square, and where do we get air?
And mama, oh hey, can I have that big elephant over there?
Quit talking, there's no more anything here
Forever to manage to know who and why and where
Quit that, child, sometimes the questions get filed
Like mama, can I have that big elephant over there?
Don't wanna comb my hair, and where's my teddy bear?
Mama hay, look at the cowboy coming there
And can I have a pair of boots like that to wear?
And mama, can I have that big elephant over there?
The time will march, days, years will go
That little lady's going to grow
And I gotta tell her what she needs to know
I'll help her along so she'll be strong
She'll know right from wrong
As life's parade goes marching by
She's gonna need to know some reasons why
I don't have all the answers
But I'll try to do what I can
I'll make him a plan
You've give a kid your best and hope she passe'll the test
And I find it so hard, I taught him well

Mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
Hey, why they do that there, and how you put that there?
Hey mummy, up here! Hey mummy, what that say up there?
Hey mummy, what is fair, how come I have to share?
And mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
Hey mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
And mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
