Jerry Wexler - Man Gave Names To All The Animals lyrics

[Chorus] Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago [Verse 1] He saw an animal that liked to growl Big furry paws and he liked to howl Great big furry back and furry hair “Ah, think I'll call it a bear” [Chorus] [Verse 2] He saw an animal up on a hill Chewing up so much gra** until she was filled He saw milk coming out but he didn't know how “Ah, think I'll call it a cow” [Chorus] [Verse 3] He saw an animal that liked to snort Horns on his head and they weren't too short It looked like there wasn't nothing that he couldn't pull “Ah, think I'll call it a bull” [Chorus] [Verse 4] He saw an animal leaving a muddy trail Real dirty face and a curly tail He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big “Ah, think I'll call it a pig” [Chorus] [Verse 5] Next animal that he did meet Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet Eating gra** on a mountainside so steep “Ah, think I'll call it a sheep” [Chorus] [Outro] He saw an animal as smooth as gla** Slithering his way through the gra** Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake
