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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
