“Talk to the Animals”

If we could talk to the animals
Just imagine chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger
Chatting to a cheetah
What a neat achievement it 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 would curse in fluent kangaroo
If people asked us, “Can you speak rhinoceros?”
We’d say, “Of course-erous, can’t you?”

If we conferred with our furry friends, man to animal
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
