Well the people never tell it straight
They speak in languages that don’t translate
And people never tell you how
So seek the counsel of the animals
The counsel of the animals
All the backyard animals
All the backyard animals
So I slunk out the backdoor and sat down with my hound
And we both howled together ‘til the moon came around
He looked up at me with those chocolate saucer eyes
We’d both loved awry with all the woe that that implies
And together, we howled into the night
He said perfect shapes are not nature’s way
And tomorrow never goes like yesterday
How can ever people ever tell you how?
So seek the council of the animals
The council of the animals
All the backyard animals
All the backyard animals
Then out across the courtyard sounded a cockle-doodle-doo
The mocking of a cockerel to a fool through and through
He said love is not a story that starts among the stars
Tussles, fights and tantrums are the common repertoire
And together, we crowed into the light
He said the truth is nature is not on your side
It’s not supposed to be an easy ride
And the people never tell you how
So seek the council of the animals
The council of the animals
All the backyard animals
All the backyard animals
So much for Mother Nature, will this is what she did
She hurled me out the backdoor and I landed with the hogs
Face down in the pigshit, the standard epilogue
But all the swine were merry and free of regret
They said the faster that you love then the swifter you forget
And together, we squealed with all our might
