This is the world of Doctor Dolittle

This is the world of Doctor Dolittle
The wonderful world of Doctor Dolittle
Where crocodiles talk,
And elephants sing
And animals do most any old thing
Where polar bears wear top hats,
And leopards with spots wear spats

Well, that's life in the world of Doctor Dolittle
Doves start to coo when they see Dolittle
He has a profound philosophy,
If animals can be friends, says he,
Well, then, why can't we?

Say "How d'you do?" to Doctor Dolittle
Life is a zoo to Doctor Dolittle
Where antelopes lope,
And ostriches fly,
And kangaroos do what kangaroos can
To make the hyenas laugh
As long as a long giraffe

Every calf starts to moo when they see Dolittle,
Even the few who used to moo little
For all of the birds and beasts agree,
He has a profound philosophy
And so, why can't we
Do little things to help them?

He has a profound philosophy,
If animals can be friends, says he,
Well, then, why can't we?
Alvin! Alvin! ALVIN!
Why can't we!
