| If we 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, learn their languages
|
| Maybe take an animal degree
|
| We’d study Elephant and Eagle, Buffalo and Beagle
|
| Alligator, Guinea Pig and Flea
|
| We could converse in Polar Bear and Python
|
| And we could curse in fluent Kangaroo
|
| If people ask us, ‽Can you speak Rhinoceros?â€
|
| We’d say, «Of courserous, can’t you?»
|
| If we conferred with our furry friends, man to animal
|
| Think of the 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 quadrupeds
|
| Think what fun we’d have asking over crocodiles for tea
|
| Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses or sea lions
|
| What a lovely place the world would be
|
| We’d learn to speak in Antelope and Turtle
|
| Our Pekingese would be extremely good
|
| If we were asked to sing in Hippopotamus
|
| We’d say ‽Whynotamous?â€, and would
|
| And I am sure every octopus, lobster and platypus
|
| Certainly would see it as a plus
|
| 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
|
| We’d learn to speak in Antelope and Turtle
|
| Our Pekingese would be extremely good
|
| If we were asked to sing in Hippopotamus
|
| We’d say ‽Whynotamous?â€, and would
|
| 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 |
