Elephant Lullaby
Sleepyhead, sleepy eyes, sleepy smile,
Snuggled against mum,
In tall green grass,
Daytime nap of dreams you desire.
Tuff of hair, playful spout,
Under the waterfall of life,
Rolling in mud...soft and warm.
As you laugh,
With water spray and water fun
In a shower of delight.
Little one plays with others young ones,
Running and grabbing tails,
Trumpeting angriliy
You are indeed are the victor...
Evening descends,
Ganesha is calling,
Your belly rumbles for mama’s milk.
Drink, sleep, sweet dreams baby one,
Let me sing my elephant lullaby to you.
