(Ray Davies)

this world is big and wild and half insane
Take me where the animals are playing
It's a dirty old shack
Where the hound dogs bark
That we called our home
I wanna be back there
Among the cats and dogs
And the pigs and the goats

CHORUS
On animal farm
Animal home
On animal farm
Animal home

While I lay my head upon pillow
Little girl come play beneath my window
Well she's far from home
She is free from harm
She need not fear
She is by my side
And the sky is wide
So that the sun shines bright

CHORUS

Girl, it's a hard hard world
If it gets you down
Dreams often fade in time
In a bad bad world

I'll take you where real animals are playing
And people are real people not just playing
It's a quiet quiet life
By a dirty old shack
That we called our home
I wanna be back there
Among the cats and dogs
And the pigs and the goats

CHORUS
