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!
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.
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.
