[00:07.41]If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it,
[00:11.28] Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee,
[00:14.19] Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah,
[00:18.09] What a neat achievement it would be!
[00:21.18] If I spoke slang to orangutans
[00:24.24] The advantages any fool on earth could plainly see!
[00:54.03] Discussing Eastern art and dramas
[01:01.53] With intellectual llamas
[01:02.61] That’s a big step forward you’ll agree!
[01:24.12] I’d learn to speak in antelope and turtle
[01:30.42] And my Pekinese would be extremely good
[01:33.06] If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus
[01:34.29] I’d say “whynotamous?” and I would!
[01:40.83] (Instrumental)
[01:46.98] I would converse in polar bear and python,
[01:50.22] And I would curse in fluent kangaroo,
[01:53.61] If people ask me "can you speak rhinoceros?"
[01:57.24] I'd say "of courserous! Can't you?"
[02:00.93] If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal,
[02:04.44] Think of the amazing repartee
[02:07.32] If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals,
[02:11.40] Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals,
[02:15.30] And they could squeak and skwawk and speak and talk to us!
