Animal on est mal [English translation]

Animals, we feel bad

Our back is lined with scales

We smell of straw

In the fault

And when the door opens

A troup of woodlice

Repels us, shouting

"No snakes here!"

Animals, we feel bad

Animals, we feel bad

Animals, we feel bad

We have got two horns

On top of our nose

We drop down

We collapse

Our tail is curly

Our skin is thick

Our skin is greyish

And when you want to go out

With a young lady

You take her to dinner

When she sees you

What does she say?

"All you need is a hump

Vade retro, rhino!"

Animals, we feel bad

Animals, we feel bad

Animals, we feel bad

You see the giraffe having an operation

Now her neck is lined with clips

She calls for help

They want to put pants on her

But they are too short

Animals, we feel bad

We lay eggs in the sand

And when we sit down to eat

The horsepowers

Got scared

To be taken far from their stable

Animals, we feel bad

Animals, we feel bad

Animals, we feel bad

And if we don't behave

Perhaps we shall live again as humans

Animals, we feel bad

Animals, we feel bad

And God will know his own...
