Emma, I can’t explain what it is that he is
But he is what he is for a very good reason
I can’t explain why he does what he does
But he does what he does cause his heart is pure –
Of that much, I’m sure.
Doctor Dolittle: The day that i became a veterinarian,
I had a sudden overwhelming wish
To be a pure and simple vegetarian –
And give up eating all that meat and fish.
Matthew: He’s altogether a marvelous man, an’ he understands the Irish!
… and any man who understands the Irish
Can’t be reckoned altogether bad –
The same way that a lunatic
Whose patron saint is Patrick
Can’t be reckoned altogether mad.
Doctor Dolittle: If i could talk to the animals –
Just imagine it –
Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee!

Doctor Dolittle: Chatting to a cheetah –
Polynesia: Ooh!
Doctor Dolittle: What a neat achievement that would be!
I’m Just Wild About Harry was the most popular number of the Broadway show Shuffle Along. That was the first financially successful Broadway play to have African-American writers and an all African-American cast.

Mary Had a Little Lamb is an American nursery rhyme, first published as a poem by Sarah Josepha Hale on May 24, 1830, possibly inspired by an actual incident. In the 1830s, Lowell Mason set the nursery rhyme to a melody adding repetition in the verses:
Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece was white as snow.
