In the beginning was the bird and the bee

Then crawling creatures, but just two of each

And then the planet got it on ‘til there were

Flocks and herds and colonies

In this city, there are boys and girls

And we’re sining in a cynical world

But there’s nothing really wrong

When we long for what comes naturally

And it’s love in the animal kingdom

Paul was always such a delicate man

'Least til his lover held another hand

And now he’s climbing up her trellis

‘Cause he’s jealous, and he’s out for blood

She says baby, baby, listen to me

I’ve got a bed big enough for three

‘Cause Paul, you’ve done things to my body

And it’s naughty, but it’s not enough

And it’s love in the animal kingdom

Under sunlit eucalyptus

Two cats lying in the thyme

Dragged their tongues along each other

With their twin tails entwined

They’ve been stealing off together

Far away from the pride

Under sunlit eucalyptus

Only one thing on their mind

And it’s love in the animal kingdom

Lovers make up love on the fly

When there aren’t any rules to apply

All the bitter winters fade

And we get twitter-pated come July

Now there’s a buzzing in the balboa tree

There’s a ruckus in the rookery

There’s a whale within our wanting

And we’re caught in the cacophony
