Story behind the song
Kid's song about a mammoth named Melanie whose remains are found by archeologists years later.
Lyrics
This could be a funny story Or this could be actual I could pull your leg until it hurts With what I say is factual Let me tell you 'bout this mammoth Who roamed the earth years ago I think her name was Melanie But I don't really know She wandered into the tar pits Never to be seen again And though nobody remembers One day they will find her remains Thousands of years have come and gone since then And Melanie has slid from memory All the mammoths disappeared from the earth Except for those like Melanie What could the mammoths have been doing To make things so NOT go their way? Some might say what a terrible fate But I just say what a shame She wandered into the tar pits Never to be seen again And though nobody remembers One day they will find her remains (c) 2008 Sanford A. Mixon (BMI)
