Story Behind The Song
I was sitting in a daycare room, and there were elephants and all sorts of wildlife oainted on the walkls, and the phrase "Elephant Repellent" popped into my mind. Then I figured it could extend to the other animals. I now play it for the kids, and have them shout out the animals for each verse.
Song Description
Just the idea that if you had repellent for something, then you wouldn't have the thing. And you wouldn't know you needed that repellent.

'Cause I spent it all on Elephant Repellent
Dm G C
Now I don't have elephants anymore
Giraffe Repellent, It works every time
I've got no dollars, I've got no dimes
'Cause I spent it all on giraffe Repellent
Now I don't have giraffes anymore
Aligator Repellent

Elephant Repellent, It works every time
I've got no dollars, I've got no dimes
'Cause I spent it all on Elephant Repellent
Now I don't have elephants anymore
