Strolling Through The Park

Strolling Through the Park (also known as The Fountain in the Park) is the 3rd song in the video A Day at the Circus. Originally sung by Ed Haley, it featured Tuhk Potter, Sh'Vaughn Heath, Nicole Mandich, Divita Wright, and David Chan. The other kids joined them at the second verse of this song.

Lyrics

While strolling through the park one day,
In the merry, merry month of May,
I was taken by surprise by a pair of roguish eyes,
I was scared, but I didn't run away!

He walked along so daintily,
Moving as graceful as can be.

His legs were like the trunks of trees,
I hardly came up to his knees.
He looked at me again and I knew we would be friends,
He's just a little bigger than me!

He had the cutest baby too,
About as old as me and you.
Maybe soon one day, we could all go out and play,
And be friends with the elephants in the park.

He walked along so daintily,
Moving as graceful as can be.

I've never seen anything
As big — it was astonishing!
From the tail up to his trunk
From the back up to the front,
This elephant's a giant, never doubt!

This elephant's a giant never doubt!

This el-e-phant's a gi-ant, ne-ver doubt!

Alternate Lyrics

I though I'd seen a lot of things,
From New York to Colorado Springs,
From his tail up to his trunk,
From the back up to the front,
The elephant is so astonishing.

This elephant is so astonishing.
This elephant is so astonishing.

Trivia

• In the episode, Circus Day, of season 2 of The Kidsongs Television Show, the song was edited to include the scene where Divita sat on the tusks of an elephant.
