MAN GAVE NAMES TO ALL THE ANIMALS

By Bob Dylan
Hello, Folks: Today I´d like to share with you this song which I've just rediscovered this week looking for animals songs in You Tube, and I'v just enjoyed it with my pupils from 5th and 6th levels this morning. I was dealing with the topic of wild animals and wanting to find a song diferent from the typical "The animals went in two by two". I think the song couldn´t be more motivating and joyful for the pupils as they can learn by heart the chorus in a minute and then if you want work slowly the complete lyrics.
Here I leave you the link and lyrics. Enjoy it. Kisses to your pets.

MAN GAVE NAMES TO ALL THE ANIMALS (Bob Dylan)
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago. (Chorus)
He saw an animal that liked to growl,
Big furry paws and he liked to howl,
Great big furry back and furry hair.
"Ah, think I'll call it a bear."
Man gave names...
He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.
He saw milk comin' out but he didn't know how.
"Ah, think I'll call it a cow."
Man gave names...
He saw an animal that liked to snort,
Horns on his head and they weren't too short.
It looked like there wasn't nothin' that he couldn't pull.
"Ah, think I'll call it a bull."
Man gave names...
He saw an animal leavin' a muddy trail,
Real dirty face and a curly tail.
He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big.
"Ah, think I'll call it a pig."
Man gave names...
Next animal that he did meet
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet,
Eating grass on a mountainside so steep.
"Ah, think I'll call it a sheep."
Man gave names...
He saw an animal as smooth as glass
Slithering his way through the grass.
Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake . . .
