Chorus: Name the animals / Let's name the animals / Name the animals / Let's name the animals / Adam had to name them / Adam had to name them / So let's help him name them / So let's help him name them.
See that pretty thing flutter by / I think I'll call it a butterfly / And see that lizard walking slow with his shell / I think I'll call that one a turtle / See the serpent play percussion when his tail does shake / He is a rattlesnake / And see that black cat that's bleached like a punk / That one sure stunk, I'll call him a skunk! / (Chorus) / Cat! / Snake! / Donkey! / Horse! / Turkey! / (Chorus).
See him stepping through the mud like a high commander / He is amphibious, he's a salamander / And this long lumpy lizard with the scary smile / That is not an alligator, he's a crocodile / So go & name the fish / And call them anything you wish / In the sea, in an aquarium or on your dish / Hear the crickets in the thicket & the green tree frog / The baby frog in the bog is a polliwog / Pig! / Cow! / Goat! / Chicken! / Duck! / Elephant! / Dog! / Frog! / Rooster! / Bear! / (Chorus).
