Talk To The Animals (Album Version) - Sammy Davis Jr.

Oh if I could talk to the animals just imagine it

Chatting with a 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 and learn their languages

Maybe take an animal degree

I'd study elephant and eagle buffalo and beagle

Alligator guinea pig and flea

I would converse in polar bear and python

I would curse 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 and talk with the animals

Grunt squeak and squawk with the animals

And lord they could talk to me

If I could talk to the animals

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 be

If I spoke slang to orangutan oh

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 Pekingese would be extremely good

If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus

I'd say Whynotamous and I would

If you stop and think of it there's no doubt of it

I could win a place in history

If I could walk with the animals and talk with the animals

Grunt squeak squawk with the animals

And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to me

They would talk to me yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The animals and me

Can't you see me with them

We're walking like friends

Taking my canpo

We done the well we go

Me and the animal

Me and the animal
