Never eat a whole elephant sandwich

It’s a daft thing to contemplate

You’d need three tonne of butter

You’d look a right nutter

And you’d end up cracking your plate

It’s too big to fit in your lunch box

It’s too big to fit in a case

It’s too big to fit in your locker

It’s too big to stuff in your face

Never eat a whole elephant sandwich

Your stomach would bang like a bomb

Proceed with great caution

Try small bite-sized portions

So you’ve room for some sweet later on

It’s too big to put in your handbag

It’s too big for your rucksack

It’s too big to put in your fridge

It’s too big to have as a snack

Never eat a whole elephant sandwich

Well that’s what the zookeeper said

It will certainly fill you

Probably kill you

And besides

You’d run out of bread
