William Solo - The Naming lyrics

[ADAM, spoken] A game? What sort of game? [FATHER, spoken] Naming the animals! [FATHER] Come and gather in the meadow In the meadow, in the sun Come together everyone Now the naming has begun Leave your burrow, field, and furrow For the meadow and the sun Come and gather everyone Now the naming has begun The naming The naming [ADAM & EVE] The naming, the naming [FATHER] Ah ah ah oh way ah [EVE] Two footed [ADAM] Four footed [EVE] Six footed [ADAM] More footed [EVE] Fleet-footed [ADAM] Sure-footed [ADAM & EVE] What a grand array-o! [EVE] Duck-billed and red-breasted [ADAM] Star-nosed and quill-crested [ADAM & EVE] No wonder you rested on the seventh day-o! Stripe and spot Feather and fur Maybe you forgot How many there were Hoot and honk Whistle and purr Flap and gallop and hop Once you started making them It seems you couldn't stop [MEN] Come and gather in the meadow In the meadow in the sun Come together everyone Now the naming has begun [WOMEN, simultaneously] Two-footed, four-footed Six-footed, more footed Fleet-footed, sure-footed What a grand array-o [STORYTELLERS] The naming The naming [ADAM] All right, let's start with A, for Adam A! Ahhh...Aardvark! [EVE] My turn! That one over there is an aardwolf! [ADAM] Addax [EVE] Agama [ADAM] Agouti [EVE] Alligator [ADAM] Amphiuma [EVE] This is fun! [ADAM] Anaconda [EVE] Antelope [ADAM] Armadillo [EVE] Avadavat [ADAM] Axolotl [EVE] Aye-aye [ADAM] Aye-aye? [EVE] Aye-aye! [ADAM] Aye aye aye, we'll never be done! [ADAM & EVE] Wings are waving, tails are wagging Kangaroo, kinkajou Komodo dragon Lion, lemur Hartebeest, hare Chimpanzee and cinnamon bear Numbat, wombat, jaguarundi Deer mouse, dormouse, coatimundi Peccary, porcupine and pronghorn Tiger, tortoise, unicorn! [ADAM, EVE, STORYTELLERS] Come and gather in the meadow In the meadow, in the sun Come together everyone [FATHER] Now the naming - [ADAM] Vicuna [EVE] Walrus [FATHER] Now the naming - [ADAM] Yak [EVE] Zebra [FATHER, ADAM, EVE] Now the naming - [FATHER] Ah ah ah oh way ah [ADAM & EVE] It is done [ALL] All done
