If if I could
talk to the animals
Just imagine it,
chatting with a ch -ch -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 ask me,
can you speak rhinoceros?
I'd say, of course -erus, can't you?
If I could bird 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, 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,
wall versus sea lions,
what a lovely place the world would be
If I spoke slang to a ragazang,
oh, the advantages any fool
on earth can plainly see
Discussing Eastern art and dramas
with intellectual lamas,
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 why not a must, 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?
This is a woman like me
Talking back and forth
Thank you
