Man Gave Names to All the Animals - Live at Paramount Theatre, Portland, OR - January 16, 1980
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
