Go Wash an Elephant (1927)

(If You Wanna Do Something Big) A popular song from 1927 Words by Art Terker Music by J. Russel Robinson Lyrics 1. “Papa, Papa, Papa” said little Willie McGurk “I’m big and strong and healthy, Pop Get me a job of work” “Willie, Willie, Willie,” said Papa winking his eye “If you’ve got big ambitions Here’s a job you oughta try Chorus: Go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big Go wash an elephant till he squeals like a pig Dip the brush into the pail and make the water fly Wash him in December and by April he’ll be dry Go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big Scrub him till he does an Irish jig Don’t settle down to married life For after all what is a wife Oh go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big Chorus: Go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big Go wash an elephant till he squeals like a pig Elephants are fragile things they have such tender skins If you hang a bucket on him please use safety pins Go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big Spray him till he’s sweeter than a fig Don’t try to lengthen women’s skirts Or figure out why grapefruit squirts But go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big 2. “Papa, Papa, Papa I’m going down to the Zoo And start in washing right away Oh! what a job I’ll do” “Willie, Willie, Willie, look out don’t tickle his trunk If he’s annoyed he’ll step on you And you’ll feel awfully punk Chorus: Go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big Rub him with alcohol while you’re at it take a swig Rub him North and rub him South then rub him East and West It may take a week to rub the landscape off his chest Go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big Scrub him till he rattles like a rig Babe Ruth can surely swat a ball But after all a ball is small So, go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big Chorus: Go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big If he objects to it you can put him in the brig Manicure his dainty fingers, bless his little soul Use the Mississippi river for his finger bowl Go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big Box his little ears should he renege Don’t ever try to get too rich Or learn what makes a pimple itch But go wash an Elephant if you wanna do something big -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne Download the sheet music and MIDI at: https://www.sheetmusicsinger.com/go-w...
