Through the forest, ‘round the lake, ‘Til their feet began to ache!

Through seven days of rain and sun Danced Ben and Hen and Elephant. Bennie telephoned the zoo: “We’ve found your elephant for you! But we’ve become such close friends, too – We’d love to keep that elephant!” The zoo men said, “That plan is fine! Sign here on the dotted line!” So, friends until the end of time Are Ben and Hen and Elephant! There they go – dancing in the sunset! Ben and Hen and Elephant!
