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 like [incomprehensible]
