Talk To The Animals

Oh, if I could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chatting 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 and learn their languages Maybe take an animal degree I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle Alligator, guinea pig and flea I would converse in polar bear and python I would curse in fluent kangaroo If people asked me, can you speak rhinoceros? I'd say, of courserous, can't you? If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal Think of the amazing repartee If I could walk with the animals and talk with the animals Grunt, squeak and squawk with the animals And lord, they could talk to me If I could talk to the animals Think what fun we'd 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 orangutan, oh The advantages, any fool on earth can plainly see Discussing Eastern art and dramas with intellectual llamas That's a big step forward you'll agree I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle My Pekingese would be extremely good If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus I'd say, whynotamous and I would If you stop and think of it, there's no doubt of it I could win a place in history If I could walk with the animals and talk with the animals Grunt, squeak, squawk with the animals And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to me They would talk to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah The animals and me, can't you see me with them? We're walking like friends Talking back and forth Down the road we go Me and the animals
