We'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?"
And we could curse in fluent Kangaroo
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
If people ask us, “Can you speak Rhinoceros?”
We could converse in Polar Bear and Python
If we were asked to sing in Hippopotamus
Our Pekingese would be extremely good
We’d learn to speak in Antelope and Turtle
Our Pekingese would be extremely good
If we conferred with our furry friends, man to animal
Think what fun we’d have asking over crocodiles for tea
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
Gradually, we'd drop it with no fuss
We’d say “Whynotamous?”, and would
If we were asked to sing in Hippopotamus
And they could talk to us
We’d say “Whynotamous?”, and would
We'd study Elephant and Eagle, Buffalo and Beagle
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
What a lovely place the world would be
If we consulted with quadrupeds
If we all spoke like animals, who needs English?
And I am sure every octopus, lobster and platypus
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
And they could talk to us
Maybe take an animal degree
What a neat achievement it would be
We’d learn to speak in Antelope and Turtle
Think of the all the things we could discuss
Alligator, Guinea Pig and Flea
Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses or sea lions
Certainly would see it as a plus
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
