Song | Talk To The Animals |
Artist | The Chipmunks |
Album | Holidays & Hits |
Alright boys, so far so good | |
Now, what did Dr Doolittle wanna do with the animals | |
More than anything else, Alvin? | |
He wanted to learn to talk to them | |
And who promised to teach him how to talk to the animals, Simon? | |
Polynesia the parrot | |
Okay now, Theodore | |
Do you think you remember the song the doctor sang? | |
Ah, sure I can, if you help me | |
Okay Theodore, I'll start it out for you | |
If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it | |
Chatting with the 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 | |
I'd study elephants and eagle, buffalo and beagle | |
Alligator, guinea pig and flea | |
I would converse in polar bear and python | |
I could converse in fluent kangaroo | |
If people asked 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 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 any fool on earth can 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 | |
My Pekinese would be extremely good | |
If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus | |
I'd say ‽Whynotamous?†and would | |
If I could parlay with pachyderms | |
It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson or Grimm | |
A man who walks with the animals, talks with the animals | |
Grunts and squeaks, and squawks with the animals | |
And they could talk to him | |
I'd study every living creature's language | |
So you could speak to all of them on site | |
If friends said, ‽Can he talk in crab or pelican?†| |
Then I'd say, ‽Well, I can†and I'd be right | |
And if you just stop and think a bit | |
There's no doubt of it we would win a place in history | |
If I 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 me | |
Alright fellas, I understand that's enough |
Alright boys, so far so good | |
