I go 4-3-2-1

I go 1-2-3-4

Then I push a little button

And I open the door

Then I close it right away

'Cause there is no room for more

I'm the elephant elevator operator

(He's the elephant elevator operator)



Hey, I coulda been a salesman at a party goods store

Or a brave and handsome lifeguard on the New Jersey shore

But the job that I have chosen is the one I adore

I'm the elephant elevator operator

(He's the elephant elevator operator)



Wanna celebrate the elevator I'm the operator of

No elevator could be greater

Hey, it fits me like a glove!

1-2-3...



I go 4-3-2-1

I go 1-2-3-4

Then I push a little button

And I open the door

Then I close it right away

'Cause there is no room for more

I'm the elephant elevator operator

(He's the elephant elevator operator)



Oh, I coulda been a cute and dashing aviator

Or I coulda been a jockey but it's kind of a bore

No, the job that I have chosen offers me so much more

I'm the elephant elevator operator

(He's the elephant elevator operator)



(He goes 4-3-2-1

He goes 1-2-3-4)

Then I push this little button and I open the door

People get all excited when I stop at their floor

I'm the elephant elevator operator

(He's the elephant elevator operator)

I'm the elephant elevator operator

Ole'!
