'If I Could Talk To The Animals', Dr Doolittle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOvlKgoeP4s


If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chattin' 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 all 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 And I would curse in fluent kangaroo If people ask me, "Can you speak rhinoceros?" I'd say, "Of courseros, 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, talk with the animals Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals And they could talk to me


If I consulted with quadrupeds 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 orangutans The advantages why any fool on earth could 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 And my Pekingese would be extremely good If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus I'd say, "Why notamus" and I would

If I could parlay with pachyderms

It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm A man who walks with the animals and talks with the animals Grunts, and squeaks, and squawks with the animals And they could talk to him


Let me hear 'em talk

I'd study every creature's language So I could speak to all of them on site If friends said, "Can he talk in crab or maybe pelican?" You'd say, "Like hell he can" and you'd be right


And if you just stop and think of it, ain't no doubt of it I'm gonna win a place in history If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals Grunt, squeak, squawk with the animals And they could squeak, and squawk, and speak, and talk to me
