Does anyone have the complete lyrics to “Pink Elephants on parade”, the coolest song ever in a Disney movie? Mostly, I can’t figure out this part…

“They’re walking around the bed  
On their head  
Flippity-floppity  
(Something)  
(Something else)  
Pink elephants on para-a-a-ade!”

Both somethings rhyme with “parade”, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what the heck they are.

I have no idea.

I opened this thinking you were following **Homer** ’s example(s) and posting while drunk/stoned/high 😃

Doesn’t stoned and high mean the same thing?
