SONGS
DA ELK
"There is a song about an elk that was living on da prairie near Wolf Creek.  It is pretty cool and wet there on da prairie in da winter. But he was pretty connected to da habitat. There was good prairie grass to eat. There were good wallows of mud to wallow in. But da elk was looking to move to a new habitat with different food and mud. He wanted to deconnect from his prairie habitat and move to Jamaica. So he jump into de Prairie Creek. He start swimming. He swim down the creek past past Orick.  He swim to the Pacific Ocean. He start swimming south past L.A. He see this Minnie and Mickey and this Goofy dog. He swim into the Panama Canal. He swim into the Caribbean Ocean. He come to the island of Jamaica. He was dancing on the beach with his new Jamaican friends. He was playin' da steel drums wid his hooves. His fur was all gnatty and dreddy. he was sippen the milk from a coconut shell and havin' da goodest ol' time of his life."

[
this is a repeat after me song]

Da Elk, Da Elk
Da Elk, Da Elk
Sleepin' on the prairie
Eatin' up da prairie grass
Wallowin' in the wallow

CHORUS:
Where did he go?
Well, I don't know
He no can hide
From the web of life

[
repeat first verse and chorus]

Dead Elk, Dead Elk
Floatin' in Caribbean
Not eatin' his coconut
Not boppin' to da Beach Boys

Oh, where did he go?
Well, I don't know
He tried to hide
But he no could hide
From da web of life
From
Da web
of
Da life
