If we could Talk  To The An - i - mals,
just  im - ag - ine it, 
Chat-ting to a chimp in chim-pan-zee,
Im - ag-ine talk-ing to a ti - ger,
chat - ting to a chee - tah,
What a neat a-chieve-ment it would be.

If we could Talk  To The An - i - mals,
learn their lan-gua-ges, 
May-be take an an -i- mal  de-gree,
we'd stud-y el-e-phant and ea-gle,
buf-fa-lo and bea-gle,
Al - li - ga - tor, guin-ea pig and flea.

We would con-verse in po-lar bear and py-thon,
And  we  would curse in flupent kan-ga-roo.
If peo-ple asked us, "Can you speak rhi-noc-er-os?!
We'd say, "Of cours-er-os!   Can't  you?!

If we con-ferred  with our fur-ry friends,
man to an-i-mal, Think of all the things we could dis-cuss.
If we could walk with the an-i-mals, talk with the an-i-mals, 
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the an-i-mals,
And they could talk to us._____

If we con-sul-ted with quad-ru-peds,
think what fun we'd have,
Ask-ing o-ver croc-o-diles for tea,
Or may-be lunch with two or threee lions,
wal-rus-es and sea lions,
What a love-ly place  the world would be.

If we spoke slang to o-rang-u-tangs,
the ad-van-ta-ges An-y fool on earth can plain-ly see.
Dis-cuss-ing east-ern art and dra-mas
with in-tel-lec-tual lla-mas, 
That's a big step for-ward, you'll a - gree.

We'd learn to speak in an-te-lope and tur-tle,
Our Pe - kin-ese would be ex-treme-ly good.
If we were asked to sing in hip-po-pot-a-mus,
We'd say, "Why not-a-mus?!   And would!
And we are sure ev-'ry oc - to-pus,
Plaice and plat-y-pus cer-tain-ly would see it as a plus.

If we could walk with the an-i-mals, 
talk with the an-i-mals, 
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the an-i-mals,
And they could talk to us._______________

We'd stud-y ev - 'ry liv-ing crea-ture's lan-guage,
So we could speak  to all of them on sight.
If friends said, "Can you talk in crab or pel-i-can?!
We'd say, "Like hel-we-can!"   And we'd be right!
And if we all spoke like an-i-mals, 
who'd need Eng - lish?
Grad-ual - ly we'd drop it with no fuss.

If we could walk with the an-i-mals,
talk with the an-i-mals, 
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the an-i-mals,
And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk
to us._______________
