Save The Animals
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse



Straight Arrow & Company: 
We Have To Save The Animals!.... 
We've Got To Save The Animals!.... 
If We Do Not 
Then Very Soon 
The Lot Will Be Extinct! 

The Last Pair Of The Species! 
The Female - You Can See She's 
So Terrified 
She'd Die If We But Blinked! 

The Message Is Disturbing Yet Distinct...... 
The Answer Is Straightforward And Succinct! 

We've Got To Save All The Animals 
Save The Animals 
Heaven Help Us If They Die Of Cold! 
We've Got To Keep 'Em Warm And Cosy 
Dose 'Em Till They're Dozy 
Primates Like Their Climates Well-Controlled! 

We Must Protect All The Animals 
Every One Of Them 
Not Allow Mankind To Be Unkind
And Pray The Crocodiles That Man Bags 
Don't End Up As Handbags 
That Was Not The Plan That God Designed

We Must Defend Our Death-Endangered Dodos 
Guard Our Gorillas, Ganders, Goats And Geese 
Protect Our Panthers, Pumas, Pigs And Pelicans 
P'raps Using Elephants As Police! 

We Must Have Faith In The Scheme Of Things 
Not Just Dream Of Things! 
This Is Why I See The Matter Thus 
We Must Brave All For The Animals  
Save All The Animals 
That Is Why God Gave Us All The Animals! 
Some Day They May Save Us! 

Just Think About The Animals 
And Life Without The Animals! 
Imagine If Giraffes And Chimpanzees 
Did Not Exist! 

If All The Bengal Tigers 
Were Stuffed In A Museum
Each Time We Went To See 'Em 
They'd Be Sorely Missed!... 
So Don't Cross Them Off Your List!... 

They're The Friends We Must Assist! 

We Must Have Faith In The Scheme Of Things 
Not Just Dream Of Things! 
This Is Why We See The Matter Thus 
We Must Brave All For The Animals 
Save All The Animals 
That Is Why God Gave Us All The Animals! 
Some Day They May.....Save....Us! 

Straight Arrow:
They Are Beautiful And Brave 
They're The Greatest Gift God Gave! 
And The Time Has Come To Save 
The Animals! 

Straight Arrow & Company:
Yes, It's Up To Us To Save ...
The Animals!
