G                   D7           G 
I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas 
    C             G                 Em 
But how you gonna get him neath the tree 
     G              D7              G 
Just suppose he got stuck up in our chimney 
     C              D7              G 
Then everyone would blame it all on me 

D7                               G 
Lots of kids would rather have a pony 
    D7                         G 
And I bet that would be lot of fun 
                        D7           G 
But I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas 
C           D7             G 
Maybe Santa you can get me one 

                    D7           G 
I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas 
  C              G              Em 
I read about him in the nursery rhyme 
  G                  D7          G 
I don't believe he'd be a lot of trouble 
       C                D7              G 
If you feed him lots of peanuts all the time 

D7                               G 
Lots of kids are crazy about the monkeys 
     D7                                G 
They like to watch 'em play out at the zoo 
                    D7           G 
I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas 
C               D7               G 
Santa won't you see what you can do 

                    D7           G 
I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas 
  C               G                    Em 
I promise I'll be good all through the year 
     G                D7                 G 
I'll wash my face and brush my teeth and study hard in school 
C                   D7             G 
If on Christmas day my elephant is here 

  D7                            G 
I guess that I should ask for a puppy 
     D7                              G 
Or a kitten in my stocking Christmas day 
                        D7           G 
But I'd like to have an elephant for Christmas 
C           D7             G 
Maybe Santa you can find a way 

                    D7           G
