Man Gave Names to All the Animals Lyrics
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, a long time ago.
He saw an animal that liked to growl,
Big furry paws and he liked to howl.
Great big furry back and furry hair,
I think I'll call it a bear.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, a long time ago.
He saw an animal up on the hill,
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.
He saw milk coming out but didn't know how,
He said I think I'll call it a cow.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, a long time ago.
He saw an animal that liked to snort,
Horns on his head and they weren't too short.
And it looked like there was nothing he couldn't pull,
He said I think I'll call it a bull.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, a long time ago.
He saw an animal leaving a muddy trail,
Real dirty face and a curly tail.
He wasn't too small, he wasn't too big,
He said I think I'll call it a pig.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, a long time ago.
Next animal that he did meet,
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet.
Eating grass on a mountain side so steep,
He said I'm gonna call that one a sheep.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, a long time ago.
He saw an animal as smooth as glass,
Slithering his way through the grass.
He saw him disappear by a tree near a lake,
Ahhh.
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals,
In the beginning, a long time ago.
Big furry paws and he liked to howl.
Great big furry back and furry hair,
I think I'll call it a bear.
In the beginning, in the beginning.

it's like a kindergarten singalong haha idk what the point of this song is it' kinda cute i guess
hmm,,, only one post? catchy song but, no really deep meaning to me ...
i was wondering if this song is a cover or the original
it was a cover by jason. the original is bob dylan
i am a huge dylan fan and i didn't even know this was a cover up until a few minutes ago when i saw it listed by dylan. i checked out the lyrics to see if it was the same song haha. it's an okay song, not fascinating
I've always seen it as a commentary on the limits of language.Because one person 900 years ago said it was so and a few people around him agreed, it is now with out any fathom of a doubt a bear. Why? Because he said so. It's about the arbitrary nature of the words and names we use on a daily basis.
