If I were an animal, a monkey is what I'd be,
I'd have fun eating bananas,
I would swing on any tree.
When monkeys are on the ground
They can chomp on buildings
You see, I could be a monkey
Cause I like to swing on any tree.

But if I were an animal an eagle is what I'd be,
I'd feel happy and light and nobody could shoot me.
If I was an eagle I could fly to see
The clouds in the sky,
When I fly to far from home
I'd fly with other birds so I won't be alone.

If I were an animal, a tiger is what I'd be,
I'd walk around the woods and
People wouldn't run from me
You know I wouldn't want them to
Even though I'm pretty big and mean
I wouldn't want to be put in a cage,
Now that would be a terrible scene.

But if I were an animal an eagle is what I'd be,
I'd feel happy and light and nobody could shoot me.
If I was an eagle I could fly to see
The clouds in the sky,
When I fly to far from home
I'd fly with other birds so I won't be alone.

Now if I were an animal, a dog would be cool
Cause dogs have the most action of all,
And they don't go to school, schools are for fish.
If I were an animal, a wolf is what I'd be
I would make friend with that big black dog
And we would find ourselves
Something good to eat.

But if I were an animal an eagle is what I'd be,
I'd feel happy and light and nobody could shoot me.
If I was an eagle I could fly to see
The clouds in the sky,
When I fly to far from home
I'd fly with other birds so I won't be alone.

If I were an animal, Massachusetts is where I'd be
Because it's fun, my auntie lives there
And her name is Peggy.
If I were an animal, a hawk is what I'd be,
I would chase the animals & I'd pet the squirrels
And the rats in the city
