Teach Us How to Love (The Animal Song)
Mark Spangler©2020

My dog old faithful friend
On him I depend
We’re pals to the end

My cat knows where it’s at
She jumps in my lap
We take a nap

From armadillos down to zebras
Each and every kind of creature
All the things that run and fly
Buffalo and butterflies

Albatross to wallaby
The whales and dolphins swimming free
They’re all here to teach us how to love

My pig’s got a lot on his plate
He can’t fit through the gate
He’s watching his weight

My fish longs for the sea
Her name is Marie
She’s stuck here with me

The stallions and the golden eagles
German shepherds and the beagles
Animals both great and small
There’s no way to count them all

The purest souls in heaven’s kingdom
Endless source of nature’s wisdom
They’re all here to teach us how to love

I'll meet you on that rainbow bridge
We'll talk about the things we did
Chasin' balls and hiking trails
Or just out walkin' waggin' tails

The purest souls in heaven’s kingdom
Endless source of ancient wisdom
They’re all here to teach us how to love
