1:40We're gonna make a song without a rhyme So we can sing it for you A song without a rhyme Yeah, that's what we're gonna Accomplish You know it's gonna be tricky Yeah, it's gonna take time To make a song without words that end with a Repeated sound There was a man from Nashville Who was a songwriting star One day he got inspired As he strummed his Gilded ukulele He said "I'll write a non-rhyming song Yeah, it'll be the only one" But in the end he decided that it could not be Profitable Well, he tried this He tried that But he couldn't get it right He worked on and on From morning till next morning Hammered away and struggled along Because it's hard as nails To make a non-rhyming Tune Here's what he came up with There once was a boy from Brussels Who liked to show off his big Mother She was so strong, she could've wrestled King Friday From Mr. Rogers Neighborhood But instead, she just stated the following You can try this and try that Still not get it right Work on and on From morning till next morning Hammer away and struggle along Because it's hard as nails To make a non-rhyming Hit single these days Well, we've made it this far without a rhyme Do you think I will be able to beat you this Type of thing is hard to do But we're still going strong And now for the part where we all sing along Loud together La la la Do do do do You love me and I love Yodeling Yodelay-hee-hoo Yodelay-hee-hee Well, if you want to hear a rhyme, just listen to Mother Goose There was an old woman who lived in a shoe She had so many children, she didn't know what to Pay her babysitter His name was Peter Peter Pumpkin Pie He always used to sing this la la Lovely little tune All right, here's a tough one, ready, Anand? Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you All are doing living in this shoe Excellent You can try this and try that Still not get it right Work on and on From morning till next morning Hammer away and struggle along Because it's hard as nails To make a non-rhyming ditty that doesn't use any rhyming words Unlike any other song you've ever listened to But now for better or worse, my friend We've finally come to the Elephant chorus Don't they sound sublime? Hey, uh, hey Steve? What was it that your granddaddy always used to say Right after he said "never ever, ever misquote me"? He used to say "You might as well go with elephants if you're trying not to rhyme" That's right Why did he say that? I don't know, that's a strange thing to say Grandpa!
