Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago

He saw an animal that liked to growl

Big furry paws and he liked to howl
Great big furry back and furry hair
Ah, think I'll call it a bear


Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago


He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled
He saw milk coming out but he didn't know how

Ah, think I'll call it a cow

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago


He saw an animal that liked to snort
Horns on his head and they weren't too short

It looked like there wasn't nothing that he couldn't pull
Ah, think I'll call it a bull


Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago

He saw an animal leaving a muddy trail

Real dirty face and a curly tail
He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big
Ah, think I'll call it a pig


Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago


Next animal that he did meet
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet
Eating grass on a mountainside so steep

Ah, think I'll call it a sheep

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago


He saw an animal as smooth as glass
Slithering his way through the grass

Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake
