lyrics

To make a dress to wow the crowd you really have to work aloud
It helps the soul to hear some noise you see.
A stomp, a stamp, a shriek a yell, a banshee cry’s all very well
And contributes to creativity.

So help me out with scream or shout I’ve work to do and there’s no doubt that ultimately time is rather pressed.

And if you don’t know what to do then listen up I’ll speak to you
and say a clap is probably what’s best.

Lets hear you!


Six days left and our elephant awaits
A dress so grand it will stupefy her mates.
So friends sew, but steady as you go
We’ve not much time but this dress must be sublime.

Stop! Thinking… thinking… A stitch here, a stitch there. Of course! Here we go.


Five days left and our elephant awaits
A dress so fine it will knock out all her mates
So friends sew, but steady as you go
The hour is close at hand but this dress must be more grand
Stop! Thinking… thinking… Tassles! Tassles is what we need! Here we go!


Four days left and our elephant awaits
A dress that shines like polished silver plates
So friends sew, but steady as you go
It’s all quite tense but this dress must be immense.

Stop! Something’s not quite right…Of course! Neck line! Off we go!

Three days left and our elephant awaits
A dress that screams perfection no debates
So friends sew, but steady as you go
I feel the heat but this dress must be a treat

Stop! On second thoughts no…Keep going.

Two days left and our elephant awaits
A dress that glides as if it were on skates
So friends sew, but steady as you go
It’s all quite late but this dress is nearly great!

Keep going. Keep going!

One day left and our elephant awaits
A dress that makes people’s pulses quite pulsate
So friends sew, but steady as you go
It’s all been rather fun and I’m pleased to say…it’s done!
