Carter Hulsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard a rubber band
Saw a needle that winked it's eye
But I be done seen 'bout everything
When I see an elephant fly
Shhh!
I saw a front porch swing
I heard a diamond ring
Saw a polka dot railroad tie
But I be done seen 'bout everything
When I see an elephant fly
But I be done seen 'bout everything
When I see an elephant fly
The lyrics of Carter Hulsey's song 'Dumbo' narrate the story from the movie 'Dumbo', where Timothy Q. Mouse, trying to boost the little elephant's confidence, claims that he has seen almost everything in the world, except an elephant fly. The first verse of the song mentions seemingly ordinary things like peanut stands, rubber bands, and needles that wink. This is likely meant to highlight that even the most unremarkable things can pique our curiosity, but seeing an elephant fly would truly be extraordinary.

I saw a peanut stand
I have witnessed small and ordinary things
I heard a rubber band
I have heard the sound of insignificant things
Saw a needle that winked it's eye
I have witnessed something unusual and unexpected
But I be done seen 'bout everything
Despite seeing ordinary and extraordinary things, nothing surprises me anymore
When I see an elephant fly
Until I see the impossible, like an elephant flying, I won't be surprised anymore
I saw a front porch swing
I have seen comfortable and familiar things
I heard a diamond ring
I have heard the sound of valuable things
Saw a polka dot railroad tie
I have witnessed something that doesn't fit the norm
But I be done seen 'bout everything
Despite seeing ordinary and extraordinary things, nothing surprises me anymore
When I see an elephant fly
Until I see the impossible, like an elephant flying, I won't be surprised anymore
But I be done seen 'bout everything
Despite seeing ordinary and extraordinary things, nothing surprises me anymore
When I see an elephant fly
Until I see the impossible, like an elephant flying, I won't be surprised anymore
