If I spoke slang to o-rangutans, the ad-vantages, why any fool on earth could plainly see!

I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle, and my Pekin-ese would be extremely good

C#m7 F#7 C#m7 F#7 B
If I could parlay with pachyderms, it's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm

A man who walks with the animals, and talks with the animals
