Songfacts®:

  • This is a children's song from a children's film, the 1941 Walt Disney classic Dumbo, who was of course a flying elephant.
  • "When I See An Elephant Fly" is written in 4/4 time with words by Ned Washington and music by Oliver Wallace. At the time, the idea of a flying elephant must have seemed somewhat bizarre, but in 1941 there was no such thing as a jumbo jet! >>>
