Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginningin the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginninglong 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.
"Ahthink I ll call it a bear."
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginningin the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginninglong time ago.
He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.
He saw milk comin out but he didn t know how.
"Ahthink I ll call it a cow."
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginningin the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginninglong 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 nothin that he couldn t pull.
"Ahthink I ll call it a bull."
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginningin the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginninglong time ago.
He saw an animal leavin a muddy trail
Real dirty face and a curly tail.
He wasn t too small and he wasn t too big.
"Ahthink I ll call it a pig."
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginningin the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginninglong 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.
"Ahthink I ll call it a sheep."
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginningin the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginninglong time ago.
He saw an animal as smooth as glass
Slithering his way through the grass.
Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake . . .
