If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chattin with a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah What a neat achievement it would be! If we could talk to the animals, learn all their languages I could take an animal degree Id study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle Alligator, guinea pig, and flea! I would converse in polar bear and python And I would curse in fluent kangaroo If people ask me can you speak rhinoceros? Id say of courserous! Cant you? If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal Think of the amazing repartee If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals And they could talk to me! If I consulted with quadrupeds Think what fun wed have asking over crocodiles for tea! Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions What a lovely place the world would be! If I spoke slang to orangutans The advantages why any fool on earth could plainly see! Discussing Eastern art and dramas With intellectual llamas Thats a big step forward youll agree! Id learn to speak in antelope and turtle And my Pekinese would be extremely good If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus Id say whynotamous and I would! If I could parlay with pachyderms Its a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm A man who walks with the animals and talks with the animals Grunts and squeaks and squawks with the animals and they could talk to him! Let me hear em talk Id study every creatures language So I could speak to all of them on site If friends said can he talk in crab or maybe pelican Youd say I canny can and youd be right! And if you just stop and think of it Aint no doubt of it Im gonna win a place in history If I could walk with the animals Talk with the animals Grunt, squeak, squawk with the animals And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to me!
