Funny animal nursery song

"The Elephant Song" 
Artist: Eric Herman
Elephants. I like elephants.
Elephants. I like elephants.
I like how they swing through trees, elephants.

Kid  : No!
Eric  : What?
Kid  : Elephants don't swing through trees.
Eric  : They don't? Well what am I thinking of?
Kid  : Monkeys.
Eric  : Oh, well in that case.

Monkeys. I like monkeys.
I like how they swim in the ocean…

Kid : No! that's Fish.
Eric : Oh, I see.
Fish. I like fish.

I like how they scratch at fleas (no) and sniff at trees and bark at the mailman…

Kid : No, no, no, no.
Eric : No?
Kid : No, those are dogs.

Gotta like dogs.

Eric : Right?
Kid : Yeah.

Curled up on the windowsill purring, and chasing mice…

Kid : No!
Eric : Well what then?
Kid : Cats!
Eric : Cats, of course.

Cats. I like cats.
I like how they say, “****-a-doodle-doo!”

Kid : No, no, no, no. They go meow! You're thinking of roosters.
Roosters. I like roosters.

I like how they reach into beehives for the honey…

Kid : No, bears do that.
Eric : Bears, yes yes yes.

Bears. I like bears.
I like how they jump up high to catch a fly and sit on a lilypad…

Kid : No, no, no, no, no! Frogs!

Gotta like frogs.

Kid : Yeah!
Eric : Yeah.

Running through a maze for some cheese…

Kid : Noooooooooo that's mice.
Eric : Oh, mice.

Mice. I like mice.
I like how they say, “Hee, haw, hee haw"

Kid : No. They go squeak, squeak. That's a donkey!

Donkeys, I like donkeys.
I like how they stomp through the jungle with their big gray trunks…

Kid : No, that's an elephant!
Eric : Right, that's like I said.

Elephants. I like elephants.

Kid : You don't know anything about animals.
