Alright boys, so far so good
Now, what did Dr Doolittle wanna do with the animals
More than anything else, Alvin?
He wanted to learn to talk to them
And who promised to teach him how to talk to the animals, Simon?
Polynesia the parrot
Okay now, Theodore
Do you think you remember the song the doctor sang?
Ah, sure I can, if you help me
Okay Theodore, I'll start it out for you
If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it
Chatting with the chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah
What a neat achievement it would be
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
Maybe take an animal degree
I'd study elephants and eagle, buffalo and beagle
Alligator, guinea pig and flea
I would converse in polar bear and python
I could converse in fluent kangaroo
If people asked me, "Can you speak rhinoceros?"
I'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?"
If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal
Think of the amazing repartee
If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak, and squawk with the animals
And they could talk to me
If I consulted with quadrupeds
Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea
Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions
What a lovely place the world would be
If I spoke slang to orangutans
The advantages any fool on earth can plainly see
Discussing eastern art and dramas with intellectual llamas
That's a big step forward you'll agree
I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle
My Pekinese would be extremely good
If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus
I'd say "Whynotamous?" and would
If I could parlay with pachyderms
It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson or Grimm
A man who walks with the animals, talks with the animals
Grunts and squeaks, and squawks with the animals
And they could talk to him
I'd study every living creature's language
So you could speak to all of them on site
If friends said, "Can he talk in crab or pelican?"
Then I'd say, "Well, I can" and I'd be right
And if you just stop and think a bit
There's no doubt of it we would win a place in history
If I 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 me
Alright fellas, I understand that's enough
