Lyrics

If I Were An Animal

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If I were an animal, a monkey is what I'd be,

I'd have fun eating bananas,

I would swing on any tree.

When monkeys are on the ground

They can chomp on buildings

You see, I could be a monkey

Cause I like to swing on any tree.

But if I were an animal an eagle is what I'd be,

I'd feel happy and light and nobody could shoot me.

If I was an eagle I could fly to see

The clouds in the sky,

When I fly to far from home

I'd fly with other birds so I won't be alone.

If I were an animal, a tiger is what I'd be,

I'd walk around the woods and

People wouldn't run from me

You know I wouldn't want them to

Even though I'm pretty big and mean

I wouldn't want to be put in a cage,

Now that would be a terrible scene.

But if I were an animal an eagle is what I'd be,

I'd feel happy and light and nobody could shoot me.

If I was an eagle I could fly to see

The clouds in the sky,

When I fly to far from home

I'd fly with other birds so I won't be alone.

Now if I were an animal, a dog would be cool

Cause dogs have the most action of all,

And they don't go to school, schools are for fish.

If I were an animal, a wolf is what I'd be

I would make friend with that big black dog

And we would find ourselves

Something good to eat.

But if I were an animal an eagle is what I'd be,

I'd feel happy and light and nobody could shoot me.

If I was an eagle I could fly to see

The clouds in the sky,

When I fly to far from home

I'd fly with other birds so I won't be alone.

If I were an animal, Massachusetts is where I'd be

Because it's fun, my auntie lives there

And her name is Peggy.

If I were an animal, a hawk is what I'd be,

I would chase the animals & I'd pet the squirrels

And the rats in the city
