Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Edna the Elephant she loved to dance
Practiced and practiced when she got the chance
Her friends would all laugh when she'd blatantly say
"I'm gonna dance in the New York Ballet"
"I'm gonna dance in the New York Ballet"
Well he brothers would laugh and snicker and snear
When Edna would jump up and twirl without fear
Her feet would come down with a crash and a boom
Momma would say "Honey, stay in your room"
Momma would say "Honey, stay in your room"
She went la da da da, la da di da da, la da, la di da da
She went la da da da, la da di da da, la da, la di da da
Edna, her dancing got better with age
Took every chance to go dancing on stage
Her teacher once thought that she might take the cake
Gave her a part in a play called Swan Lake
Gave her a part in a play called Swan lake
But kids can be mean and kids can be cruel
Somebody nicknamed her the dancing fool
But Edna stayed calm and Edna stayed true
She said I'm gonna do... what I most want to do
She went la da da da, la da di da da, la da, la di da da
She went la da da da, la da di da da, la da, la di da da
Edna she practiced 'til her moves were alright
Greeted her fans on opening night
Edna was brilliant but she didn't know
A Broadway producer was in the first row
A Broadway producer was in the first row
Edna was cheered by the all loving crowd
Her friends and her family never felt so proud
They all came to Edna and begged her to stay
She said "I'm gonna dance in the New York Ballet"
She said "I'm gonna dance in the New York Ballet"
She went la da da da, la da di da da, la da, la di da da
She went la da da da, la da di da da, la da, la di da da
