Talk to the Animals

If we could talk to the animals,
Just imagine it: 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 could converse in polar bear and python,
And we could curse in fluent kangaroo.
If people asked us: “Can you speak rhinoceros?”
We’d say “Of courseros! 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.
