If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it,
 Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee,
 Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah,
 What a neat achievement it would be!
 
 If I spoke slang to orangutans
 The advantages 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 Pekinese would be extremely good
 If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus
 I’d say “whynotamous?” and I would!
 
 (Instrumental)
 
 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 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, talk with the animals,
 Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals,
 And they could squeak and skwawk and speak and talk to us!
