Anthony Newley - Talk To The Animals lyrics

If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah What a neat achievement that 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 Alligator, guinea pig, and flea We would converse in polar bear and python And we could curse in fluent kangaroo If people asked us, can you speak in rhinoceros We'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?" If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages 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 squeak and squawk and speak and talk to us
