If we could talk to the animals
Just imagine it
Chatting with a chimp
and chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger
Chatting with 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 courserous
Can't you
If we conferred with our
furry friends man to animals
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 quadruped
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
We'd learn to speak in
antelope and turtle
Our pekinese would be
extremely good
If we were asked to sing
in hippopotamus
We'd say why not-a-mus
and would
And I am sure every octopus
Plaice and platypus
Certainly would see it
as a plus
If we could walk
with those animals
Talk with those animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk
with those animals
And they could talk to us
We'd study every living
creature's language
So we could speak to
all of them on sight
If friends said
Can you talk in crab or pelican
We'd say like **** we can
And we'd be right
And if we all spoke like animals
Who needs English
Gradually we'd drop it
with no fuss
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
