Big Yellow Elephant

I'm so glad the summer came Does that mean we get to go On a family trip again To the sea, where palm trees grow Let's head down to the beach I like jumping in the waves Daddy, Daddy, will you teach Me how to swim today Can we stop by the playground Jonny says there's a new slide Daddy, come here, help me down Mommy, where did you find My big yellow elephant He's so big! How come he floats Mommy, he is my best friend No way it's time to go How come the bus won't come I don't want to wait in line Mommy, why is everyone So angry all the time Why does the bus driver yell At the people at each stop Mommy, that old woman fell Why will no one help her up How come the grass is green How come the sky is blue Mommy, I had a bad dream Can I come and lay with you Mommy, can we get a dog I would teach it not to bark We could take it for a walk When we go to the park Why can't I play outside I don't want to wait for dad Mommy, will there be a riot No, that's something Jonny said Daddy says the car won't run Cause no one is selling gas Mommy, mommy, how come There's no more music class Where did toilet paper go The newspaper don't feel right Why is there no food at the store Why does daddy have to hide Mommy, what is there to eat I cannot get full on bread There's screaming in the street I'm too scared to go to bed Why did the police today Stomp their feet and shout a lot Why did they take dad away Mommy, was that a gunshot Who are those men in masks Marching outside our door Mommy, someone broke glass Mommy, will there be a war
