On a web, web, web, a spider’s web,
It was such a fun game, so much fun
That he called…. a second elephant.

On a web, web, web, a spider’s web,
It was such a fun game, so much fun

Notes
The line “C’était un jeu tellement amusant” translates more literally to “It was a game
that was so much fun.” I changed it to fit the tune in the mp3.
The standard lyrics to this song are slightly different:
Un éléphant se balançait
sur une toile d’araignée,
il trouva ça si amusant,
qu’il appela un autre éléphant.
Deux éléphants se balançaient etc. etc.
English Translation:
An elephant was swinging
On a spider’s web,
He found it so fun
He called another elephant.
Two elephants were swinging etc. etc.
