Sammy Davis Jr. — Talk to the Animals

  • Not Synced
    [Applause]
  • Not Synced
    In the film, Dr. Doolittle,
    for those of you who do not...
  • Not Synced
    believes in the philosophy that
  • Not Synced
    man should be able to communicate
    with animals.
  • Not Synced
    Leslie has written one song
    for Rex Harrison,
  • Not Synced
    in which he says,
    as only Rex Harrison can:
  • Not Synced
    [British accent] "If
    we could talk to the animals,
  • Not Synced
    imagine chatting with a chimp
    in chimpanzee."
  • Not Synced
    Well, I figured...
    if I sang it like that,
  • Not Synced
    I wouldn't get back
    in my neighborhood again.
  • Not Synced
    [Laughter]
  • Not Synced
    So, we did a different version.
  • Not Synced
    And it goes like this.
  • Not Synced
    Look out! Ha, ha!
    [Stamps feet]
  • Not Synced
    [Orchestra]
    [Lively music]
  • Not Synced
    Ha! [Sings]
  • Not Synced
    If I could talk to the animals...
  • Not Synced
    Just imagine it...
  • Not Synced
    Chattin' with a chimp
    in chimpanzee.
  • Not Synced
    Imagine talking to a tiger,
  • Not Synced
    chattin' with a cheetah,
  • Not Synced
    oh what a neat achievement
    it would be.
  • Not Synced
    If we could talk to the animals,
  • Not Synced
    and learn their languages,
  • Not Synced
    maybe take an animal degree.
  • Not Synced
    I'd study elephant and eagle,
    buffalo and beagle,
  • Not Synced
    alligator, guinea pig, and flea.
  • Not Synced
    I would converse in polar bear
    and python,
  • Not Synced
    I would curse in fluent kangaroo.
  • Not Synced
    If people asked me,
    "Can you speak rhinoceros?"
  • Not Synced
    I'd say "of course-eros.
    Can't you?"
  • Not Synced
    [Groovy music]
  • Not Synced
    Ho!
  • Not Synced
    If I conferred
    with our furry friends,
  • Not Synced
    man to animal,
  • Not Synced
    think of the amazing
    repartee.
  • Not Synced
    If I could walk
    with the animals,
  • Not Synced
    talk with the animals,
  • Not Synced
    grunt, squeak, and squawk
    with the animals,
  • Not Synced
    and, Lord,
  • Not Synced
    they could talk to me!
