    	    	Вступление

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

  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
