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 elephant and eagle,

Buffalo and beagle,
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 courseros!
Can't you?"

If we conferred with our furry 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 squeak and squawk
And speak and talk to us

If people asked us,
Can you speak rhinoceros?
We'd say, "of courseros!

Can't you
If we conferred with our furry 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 squeak and squawk

And speak and talk to us
