Man Gave Name

“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 furry pawsand he liked to howl,
Great big furry back and furry hair.
"Ah, think I'll call it a bear."

He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.
He saw milk comin' outbut he didn't know how.
"Ah, think I'll call it a cow."

He saw an animal that liked to snort,
Horns on his head and they weren't too short.
It looked like there wasn't nothin' that he couldn'tpull.
"Ah, think I'll call it a bull."

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.
"Ah, think I'll call it a pig."

Nextanimal that he did meet
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet,
Eating grass on a mountainside so steep.
"Ah, think I'll call it a sheep."

He saw an animal as smooth as glass
Slitheringhis way through the grass.
Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake . . .

“El hombre puso nombre a todos los animales
En el principio, en el principio.
El hombre puso nombre a todos los animalesEn el principio, hace mucho tiempo.”

Vio un animal al que le gustaba gruñir,
Grandes patas peludas y le gustaba aullar,
Gran espalda y pelo peludo.
"Ah, creo que le llamaré oso."

Vio unanimal en una colina
Masticando tanto pasto hasta que se llenó.
Vio sque le salía leche, pero no supo cómo.
"Ah, creo que le llamaré vaca."

El hombre puso nombre a todos los animales
En elprincipio, en el principio.
El hombre puso nombre a todos los animales
En el principio, hace mucho tiempo.

Vio un animal al que le gustaba resoplar,
Cuernos en la cabeza y no demasiado cortos.
Parecíaque no había nada de lo que él no pudiera tirar.
"Ah, creo que le llamaré toro".

Vio un animal dejando un rastro fangoso,
la cara sucia de veras y una cola retorcida.
No era demasiado pequeño...
