  • "Talk to the Animals" was performed by Roger Moore in episode 524 of The Muppet Show. He was assisted in the song by Baskerville the Hound, Butch the Tiger, Quongo the Gorilla (who Roger called a Chimpanzee), a Skunk, Gnu, a Rabbit, some Otters, Squirrels, an Afghan Hound. Baskerville asks Roger Moore if he is also James Bond and tells him that some of the new animals on the set are actually spies in disguise. Roger ends up fighting numerous spies when they try to assassinate him during the song with appropriately changed lyrics for the situation. Roger comes out victorious and the animals rejoice.

If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chatting with the chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah What a neat achievement it would be The Chipmunks: If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages Maybe take an animal degree I'd study elephants and eagle, buffalo and beagle Alligator, guinea pig and flea Alvin: I would converse in polar bear and python I could converse in fluent kangaroo Dave: If people asked me, "Can you speak rhinoceros?" Alvin: I'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?" Dave: If I conferred with our furry friends, man to animal Think of the amazing repartee If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals The Chipmunks & Dave: Grunt and squeak, and squawk with the animals Dave: And they could talk to me If I consulted with quadrupeds Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea Or maybe lunch with two or three lions, walruses and sea lions What a lovely place the world would be The Chipmunks: If I spoke slang to orangutans The advantages any fool on Earth can plainly see Discussing eastern art and dramas with intellectual llamas That's a big step forward you'll agree Alvin: I'd learn to speak in antelope and turtle My Pekinese would be extremely good Dave: If I were asked to sing in hippopotamus Alvin: I'd say "Whynotamous?" and would Dave: If I could parlay with pachyderms It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson or Grimm A man who walks with the animals, talks with the animals The Chipmunks & Dave: Grunts and squeaks, and squawks with the animals Dave: And they could talk to him I'd study every living creature's language The Chipmunks: So you could speak to all of them on site Dave: If friends said, "Can he talk in crab or pelican?" Alvin: Then I'd say, "Well, I can" and I'd be right The Chipmunks: And if you just stop and think a bit There's no doubt of it we would win a place in history Dave: If I could walk with the animals, talk with the animals The Chipmunks & Dave: Grunt and squeak, and squawk with the animals And they could squeak and squawk, and speak and talk Dave: To me Okay fellas, I understand that's enough!
