Talk to the Animals Lyrics

If we could talk to the animals
Just imagine it
Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger
Chatting to a cheetah
What a neat achievement it would be

If we could talk to the animals

Learn their languages
Maybe take an animal degree
We′d study elephants and eagles
Buffalo and beagles
Alligator, guinea pig and flea
We would converse in polar bear and python
And we would curse in fluent kangaroo
If people asked us, "Can you speak rhinoceros?"
We'd say, "Of course, you can′t you?"

If we conferred with our furrier friends
Man to animal
Think of all the things we could discuss

If we could walk with the animals
Talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could talk to us

If we consulted with wild cats
Think what fun we'd have
Asking older crocodiles for tea
Maybe lunch with two or three lions
Polessers and sea lions
What a lovely place the world would be

If we spoke slang to the orangutans
The advantages
Many fools on earth would plainly see
Discussing Eastern arachnidas
With intellectual llamas
That's a big step forward you′d agree
We′d learn to speak in antelope and turtle

Our Pekingese would be extremely good
If we were asked to sing in hippopotamus
Yeah, we'd say, "Not a muss and a word"
And we are sure every octopus
Place and platypus
Certainly would see it as a plus

If we could walk with the animals
Talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could talk to us
