Animals - Son of a Preacher Man

Tune: Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield

I was just a 6th grade student
Chillin' down in Toby's on Animals
We were lookin' at specimens and
My SL told me that we'd go walkin'
All the while we'd be talkin'
Then we'd look onto the ground
And see some scat that we had found

The only one who could ever teach me
Was my SL on Animals
The bestest place that I could ever be-ee
Was hikin' 'round on Animals
Yes it was, it was, oooh—yes it was

Learnin' things isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When I started to raise my ha-and
My SL told me everything was alright
SL tell me that my answer was right
Can I get a red bead for that?

Saw this thing crawlin' on the ground
Must be some kind of arthropod
The only one who could ever teach me
Was my SL on Animals
It was a bug, a bug, oooh—yes it was

How well I remember
Seein' new things with my own eyes
Walkin' like a fox on the sly
Takin' time to roll dice
Hopin' that my critter won't die
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever eat meat
Would be some kind of carnivore
The only bird that could ever "tweet-tweet"
Well, that's probably all of them
Some of them, maybe some of them, a feeeewww

Habitat, niche, adaptation
They're important on Animals
The only one who could ever teach me
Was my SL on Animals
The only one who could ever teach me
Was my SL on Animals
Animals, Animals, oooh...
