Man Gave Names to All the Animals - Live at Paramount Theatre, Portland, OR - January 16, 1980

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago

He saw an animal that liked to growl
Big, big furry paws and he liked to howl
Great big furry back and furry hair
"Hmm, 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, long time ago

He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until he was filled
He saw milk comin' out, but he didn't know how
"Hmm, 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, long time ago

He saw an animal that liked to snort
Horns on his head and they wasn't too short
It looked like there was nothin' that he couldn't pull
"Ah, 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, long time ago

He saw an animal leavin' a muddy trail
Real dirty face and a curly tail
He wasn't too small, and he wasn't too big
"Hmm, I think I'll call it a dog"

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning (one more time)
Man gave names to all the animals (yes, he did)
In the beginning, long time ago

He saw an animal as smooth as glass
Slithering his way through the grass
Saw him disappear by a tree down near a lake
Hmm-mmm

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago

In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, long time ago
