Ethel Merman - It's the Animal in Me Lyrics




My heart beats with a tum tum beat
Throbbing to the rhythm of the savage jungle heat
My emotions shout out
They want to be free
I need love to keep alive
I need it to thrive
Without it I know I cannot survive

What makes something in me sing
Oh I've got to have my fling
Can't you see woof woof
It's the animal in me

What makes something in me roar
Howl or growl or gently more
Can't you see woof woof
It's the animal in me

Now your caress possesses
The kick of a kangaroo
If music soothes the savage beast
Think about what a little love can do

What makes something in me cry
Don't if I just multiply
Can't you see woof woof
It's the animal in me

Look at mickey mouse, look at minnie mouse
They just live on love and cheese
And a mama bear loves a papa bear
Do they know their ABCs

Why when I see two loving arms why do I rant and rage
Refuse to ask my age
If you don't know what to do, here's what you got to do
You got to let those loving arms be my cage

When I get wild and uncontrollable
A bit of romance is so consolable
It has me singing hosanna, hosana
If I like you like a monkey likes bananas
Hosanna

I go lunatic just baboon-atic
When all of my heart is crying
Kisses to me are like raw meat to a lion
What makes something in me cry
Hi-di-ho, hi-di-hi
Don't divide just multiply
Let me free yessiree can't you see
Woof woof woof
It's the animal in me
