Karaoké Talk To The Animals Anthony Newley

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 alligato guinea pig and flea

We would converse in polar bear and python

And we would curse in fluent kangaroo

If people asked us

Can you speak rhinoceros?

We'd say of courseros

Can't you?

If we conferred with our furry friends man to animal

Think of 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 and sea lions

What a lovely place the world would be

We'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle

Our pekinese would be extremely good

If we were asked to sing in hippopotamus

We'd say why notamus?

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 study ev'ry living creature's language

So we could speak to all of them on sight

If you said can you talk in clam or pelican?

I'd say like hell I can and I'd be right

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
