Seventeen Pink Sugar Elephants şarkı sözleri

I saw seventeen pink sugar elephants Sitting under a chestnut tree I said good morning pink sugar elephants But they wouldn't speak to me Each had two eyes but they couldn't see me there Each had four legs but they couldn't go anywhere And so we just sat That early autumn morning Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere I walked up to one pink sugar elephant Asked why wouldn't he speak to me But he was a factory-made pink sugar elephant Given to children for treats after tea He had two eyes but he couldn't see me there He had four legs but he couldn't go anywhere And so we just sat That early autumn morning Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere Why would I ever think an elephant Made of sugar would speak to me? But what were seventeen pink sugar elephants Doing under a chestnut tree?
