Kelly The Elephant

Kelly the elephant went to a party
the monkeys were there and all dressed smartly
everyone was having a whale of a time
except for Kelly who was starting to whine
the jelly and ice cream had went down a treat
the room was full of new friends to meet
his favourite music, they played jungle rock
the party games let them all run amuck
so what was the reason for Kelly to bleat
all were up dancing, but he took to a seat
finally confronted by a leopard called Lance
Kelly admitted, he just couldn't dance

"It's not that I'm silly or causing a row"
"I'm afraid that its simply, I never learned how"
It's easy said Lance, you just let yourself go
I tried that said Kelly and I fell on the floor
Just get yourself moving in time to the beat
Kelly attempted an trod on Lance's feet
Ouch !! said lance now get of my foot
you are a bit clumsy, maybe lessons would suit
No lessons he cried, I'm a danceaphobic I fear
and sitting back down Kelly shed an elphantear

The Party in full flow all danced through the night
Kelly tried to stop crying with all of his might
The party near over, the last dance begun
Kelly was still crying and sitting all alone
all were slow dancing with romantic feeling
Then Kelly shrieked out and shot across the ceiling
He stood in the corner and went very wobbly
he looked like he was learning the Passé Doubly

you see shouted Lance you can dance all right
"but I wasn't dancing, I just got a fright"
for the cause of the fright Lance looked round the house
suddenly he recognized Millie the mouse
I'm sorry said Millie,
feeling a bit silly,
I forgot that I made you feel queer
It's all right said Lance
 as he hitched up his pants,
I've just had a brilliant idea

Next day Kelly was taken out by Lance
who had now promised to teach him to dance
Lance taught him theory and dance steps as well
until all about dancing Kelly was able to tell
he learned all the music, he knew every beat
and all this he learned without moving his feet
"but what’s been the point, I still cannot dance"
Lance said it was time for the final advance
Lance put on the music Kelly moved like a rocket
seeing Lance slipping Millie the mouse out of his pocket

With a whoop and a shriek
he did the freak
out from his dancing slumber,
he did the Rumba
it was true not false
he did a graceful Waltz
during this physical scuffle
he did the Harlem Shuffle
He was now getting the gist
As he did the Peppermint Twist
now starting to thrive
he grabbed Lance up for a Jive
showing such new devotion
he did a perfect Locomotion
With a shout of yahoo
he boogied a boogaloo
Just before exhaustion
he did a marvellous Charleston
and finally to stop
he did a robotic Body Pop

The next party was to be a different tale
Lance knew plan would neither falter or fail
all went still as Kelly walked on to the floor
he started dancing the crowd yelled for more
and all that night he danced all around the house
Lance occasionally showing him Millie the mouse
