Emma: For a month or more
I have listened and dreamed,
While the moon has glistened
And a million stars
Have gleamed …
Waiting!
Doctor Dolittle: Waiting?
I Think I Like You [song lyrics]
Emma: How you can stand there
And say what you’re saying,
I just don’t know!
I must admit
The Sahara is one place
I’m praying
We just won’t go!
Matthew: Who would have thought
That one little kiss …
Soft and sweet
From the lips of a lovely girl …
Would change my life?
But by my life …
It will!
Doctor Dolittle: I … I do not understand the human race,
That has so little love
For creatures with a different face.
Treating animals like people
Is no madness or disgrace.
I do not understand the human race.
Doctor Dolittle: When i look in your eyes,
I see the wisdom of the world
In your eyes.
I see the sadness
Of a thousand goodbyes
When i look in your eyes.
Song lyrics to I’ve Never Seen Anything Like It, Written by Leslie Bricusse, Performed by Richard Attenborough in Doctor Dolittle Blossom: I mean, I’ve seen the world! I’ve been around I could tell you stories… I’ve Never Seen Anything Like It [song lyrics]

Matthew: This is the world of Doctor Dolittle –
The wonderful world of Doctor Dolittle –
Where crocodiles talk
And elephants sing
And animals do most any old thing;
Where polar bears wear top hats,
And leopards with spots wear spats.
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.
