Talk To The Animals
Rex Harrison Lyrics

I could talk to the animals, just imagine it,
I wish I could speak to the animals and just think about the possibilities.

Chattin' with a chimp in chimpanzee,
It would be amazing to talk to a chimp and understand its chimp noises.

What a neat achievement it would be!
Being able to communicate with animals would be an incredible feat.

If we could talk to the animals, learn all their languages,
If only we could learn all the different animal languages and communicate with them.

Maybe take an animal degree,
Perhaps we could even get a degree specializing in animal languages and communication.

I'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle,
I would love to study all sorts of animals like elephants, eagles, buffalos and beagles.

Alligator, guinea pig, and flea!
Even tiny creatures like fleas, and cute pets like guinea pigs and alligators could be conversed with!

And I would curse in fluent kangaroo,
I would even learn how to curse in kangaroo just for fun.

If people ask me "can you speak rhinocerous?"
If someone were to ask me if I could speak to a rhinoceros, I'd reply with a confident yes.

Think of the amazing repartee,
Just picture the fascinating conversations that we would have with animals!

If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals,
If only I could stroll with animals and chat with them.

Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals,
The sounds of the animals would no longer be a mystery - I could converse in their native tongue.

And they could talk to me!
Even better, the animals could talk to me in a language that I would understand!

Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea!
Just imagine the enjoyment we would have having tea parties with crocodiles.

Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions,
I'd love to have lunch with some exotic creatures such as lions, walruses, and sea lions.

If I spoke slang to orangutans,
Interacting with orangutans would be more interesting if I spoke their slang language.

The advantages any fool on earth could plainly see!
It's obvious to anyone how beneficial communicating with animals could be!

Discussing Eastern art and dramas with intellectual llamas,
I could have deep conversations about art and culture with even the most intellectual llamas.

That's a big step forward you'll agree!
Agreed, this would be a huge breakthrough in human and animal communication.

If I could parlay with pachyderms,
I would love to hold conversations with elephants and other pachyderms.

It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm,
This is like a fairy tale from famous folklorists like Hans Christian Andersen and the Grimm Brothers.

All an easy just think of it and they could talk to me!
Imagine how wonderful the world would be if it was as easy as just imagining animals being able to talk back to us.
