This world is big and wild and half insane Take me where the animals are playing It's a dirty old shack Where the hound dogs bark That we called our home I wanna be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats On animal farm Animal home On animal farm Animal home While I lay my head upon pillow Little girl come play beneath my window Well she's far from home She is free from harm She need not fear She is by my side And the sky is wide So that the sun shines bright Girl, it's a hard hard world If it gets you down Dreams often fade in time In a bad bad world I'll take you where real animals are playing And people are real people not just playing It's a quiet quiet life By a dirty old shack That we called our home I wanna be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats
