(16,296 posts)49. I've seem everything, but an elephant fly
I guess that makes me super special : )
Well, I seen a horsefly)
(And I seen a dragonfly)
(Yeah, I seen a housefly)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha)
Yeah, I seen all that too...
I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked its eye
But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything
When I see a elephant fly
(What d'you say, boy?)
I said when I see a elephant fly
I seen a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring
I seen a polka-dot railroad tie
But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything
When I see a elephant fly
(I saw a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck)
(And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck)
(I didn't see that, I only heard)
(But just to be sociable, I'll take your word)
(I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat)
(And I just laughed till I thought I'd die)
But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything
When I see a elephant fly
Well I be done seen 'bout ev'rything
When I see a elephant fly
(With the wings)
When I see an elephant fly
END VERSION:
(I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band)
(I seen a needle that winked it's eye)
ELEPHANTS:
Now I be done seen about ev'rything
When I see an elephant fly
(Oh my!)
CROWS:
When I see
When I see
When I see an elephant fly
(Look at him go)
When I see an elephant fly
(Happy landings, son)
(Yippee!)
When I see an elephant fly
I sure wish I'd a-got his autograph
(Oh man, I got his autograph)
Well, so long glamour boy!
Extra verses not used in the film:
I even heard a chocolate drop
I went into a store, saw a bicycle shop
You can't deny the things you see
But I know there's certain things that just can't be.
The other day by chance, saw an old barn dance
And I just laughed 'til I thought I'd die
But I think I will have done seen ev'rything
When I see an elephant fly

Hmmm...I don't think Billy Blowhard has the ability to admit wrongness on his part.

He probably watched "Inside Ulster" or "Good Evening Ulster" in his Belfast hotel room.
