Dumb Animals
Just because we talk to the animals
There's no need to call us loopy
Most of them are aching for conversation
To tell us when they're feeling poopy
Ask 'em about us silly humans
With our conflicts and stupid old wars
Bet they'll give you a real earful
And bestow a dumb people award
Animals seem to just know the secret
For living side by side with each other
Of course they actually have their predators
But don't go round killing their brothers
Every time we talk to these animals
We learn more about acting civil
Seems these dumb animals as they are called
Don't tolerate none of this drivel
So keep talking to these so called dumb animals
They can teach us a thing or two
Bout how to get along with our fellow man
And not kill all our brothers in the zoo!
