chorus
Em
Man gave name to all the animals,
          B                  Em
In the beginning, in the beginning.

Man gave name to all the animals,
          B                   Em
In the beginning, long time ago.
   Em                          B
He saw an animal that liked to growl,
                              Em
Big fury paws and he liked to howl.
                             A
Great big fury back and fury hair,
B                          Em
Ah, ' think I'll call it a bear.

chorus

He saw an animal up on the hill,
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.
He saw milk coming out, 
But he didn't know how,
Ah, ' think I'll call it a cow.

chorus

He saw an animal that liked to snort,
Horns on his head and they weren't too short,
It looked like there was nothin' that he couldn't pull,
Ah, ' think I'll call it a bull.

chorus

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,
Ah, ' think I'll call it a pig.

chorus

Next animal that he did meet,
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet,
Eating grass on a mountain side so steep,
Ah, ' think I'll call it a sheep.

chorus

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