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, big furry paws and he liked to howl
 Great big furry back and furry hair
 "Hmm, 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 he was filled
 He saw milk comin' out, but he didn't know how
 "Hmm, 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 wasn't too short
 It looked like there was nothin' that he couldn't pull
 "Ah, I 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 leavin' a muddy trail
 Real dirty face and a curly tail
 He wasn't too small, and he wasn't too big
 "Hmm, I think I'll call it a dog"
 Man gave names to all the animals
 In the beginning, in the beginning (one more time)
 Man gave names to all the animals (yes, he did)
 In the beginning, long time ago
 ♪
 He saw an animal as smooth as glass
 Slithering his way through the grass
 Saw him disappear by a tree down near a lake
 Hmm-mmm
 
 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
 In the beginning, in the beginning
 In the beginning, in the beginning
 In the beginning, in the beginning
 In the beginning, long time ago
