Lyrics

Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal that liked to growl Big furry paws and he liked to howl Great big furry back and furry hair Ah, think I'll call it a bear Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal up on a hill Chewing up so much grass until it was filled He saw milk coming out but he didn't know how Ah, think I'll call it a cow Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal that liked to snort Horns on his head and they weren't too short It looked like there wasn't nothing that he couldn't pull Oh, I'll think I'll call it a bull Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal leaving a muddy trail Real dirty face and a curly tail He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big Ah, think I'll call him a pig Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago Next animal that he did meet Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet Eating grass on a mountainside so steep Oh, think I'll call it a sheep Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal as smooth as glass Slithering his way through the grass He saw him dissappear by a tree near a lake
