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 I could talk to the animals, learn their languages,
|
Maybe get 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,
|
And I would curse in fluent kangaroo,
|
If people ask 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, 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 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 orangutans
|
The advantages why any fool on earth could 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
|
And my Pekinese would be extremely good
|
If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus
|
I'd say "whynotamous?" and I would!
|
|
If I could parlay with pachyderms
|
It's 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!
|
|
I'd study every creature's language
|
So I could speak to all of them on site
|
If friends said "can he talk in crab or maybe pelican?"
|
You'd say "I canny can" and you'd be right!
|
|
And if you just stop and think of it
|
Ain't no doubt of it
|
I'm gonna win a place in history
|
If I could walk with the animals
|
Talk with the animals
|
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
|
And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to me!
|
|
Hey, fellas and just stack, thanks a lot!
