## Summary

The video begins with a title card that says “Trompita.” It closes and shows Blas walking up on stage in the theater. Then a zoom up shot at his face as he’s wiggling his ears. It then cuts to Winona skipping in the park with a basket of fruit. She stops to see a butterfly, and while she’s doing that, Blas sneaks up behind her to take one of her fruits. Winona spots him before he can, and the two just laugh it off. A shot of Blas dancing plays. After repeat of the first scene plays, it cuts over to Mario walking in the park with a baseball cap on. As he’s walking, Blas up in a tree steals his hat with his trunk. Blas eventually grows concerned when he hears the lyrics saying what his mother will do for being bad. A shot of three Blases dancing then plays. It then switches to a compilation of Pedro, Mía, Teo, Dante, Gomi, Chulo, Winona, and the cow interpreting what they’ll do to help Blas sleep. Afterwards, it cuts to the jungle, where Dante and the cow are carrying Blas over to a crib. When they put him in the crib, they realize it’s way too small and it collapses. It then cuts to Mario with a watch to hypnotize Blas to sleep, but it backfires and instead makes him and Dante fall asleep. Then it’s over to Teo who gets an idea. He changes the time on an alarm clock, and shows it to Blas. Blas gets reminded of his bedtime so he instantly falls asleep. The video ends with everyone sleeping around Blas.

## Letra

(Música)

Yo tengo un elefante que se llama Trompita

y mueve las orejas llamando a su mamita

y la mamá le dice "portate bien, Trompita

sino te voy a hacer chas chas en la colita".

Yo tengo un elefante que se llama Trompita

y mueve las orejas llamando a su mamita

y la mamá le dice "portate bien, Trompita

sino te voy a hacer chas chas en la colita".

Para dormir a un elefante

se necesita un chupete gigante

un sonajero de coco

y saber cantar un poco.

Para dormir

Para dormir

Para dormir a un elefante.

(Música)

Para dormir

Para dormir

para dormir a un elefante.

Para dormir

Para dormir

Para dormir a un elefante.
