Lyrics

Dave:
This is the world of Doctor Dolittle

Alvin:
Hold it Dave! Doctor who?

Dave:
Doctor Dolittle Alvin. You remember, you saw the picture.

Alvin:
Dolittle? Boy, I thought he did an awful lot for a man named Dolittle.

Theodore:
Yeahhahahaha!

Dave:
Alright Alvin.

Alvin:
Okay, Okay!

The Chipmunks:
This is the world of Doctor Dolittle

Dave:
The wonderful world of Doctor Dolittle

Alvin:
Where crocodiles talk and elephants sing
And animals do most any old thing
Where polar bears wear top hats

The Chipmunks:
And leopards with spots wear spats

Dave:
Well, that's life in the world of Doctor Dolittle

The Chipmunks:
Doves start to coo when they see Dolittle

Dave:
He has a profound philosophy

The Chipmunks:
If animals can be friends, says he

The Chipmunks & Dave:
Well, then, why can't we?

Dave:
Say "How d'you do?" to Doctor Dolittle

The Chipmunks:
Say "How d'you do?" to Doctor Dolittle

Dave:
Life is a zoo to Doctor Dolittle

The Chipmunks:
Life is a zoo to Doctor Dolittle

Alvin:
Where antelopes lope and ostriches fan

Dave:
And kangaroos do what the kangaroos can
To make the hyenas laugh

Theodore:
Hahahaha!

Dave:
As long as a long giraffe

The Chipmunks:
Every calf starts to moo when they see Dolittle

Alvin:
Even the few who used to moo little

Dave:
For all of the birds and the beasts agree

The Chipmunks:
He has a profound philosophy

The Chipmunks & Dave:
And so, why can't we?

Dave:
Do little things to help them?

Alvin:
Like catch us and feed us.

Simon:
Help us with homework.
Give us a bigger allowance.

Dave:
Now wait a minute fellas. Hold it. Let's finish the song.

He has a profound philosophy

The Chipmunks:
If animals can be friends, said he

The Chipmunks & Dave:
Well, then, why can't we?

Dave:
Alvin.

Alvin:
Wee, weeee!

Dave:
Alvin!

Alvin:
Weeee, wee, WEEEEEEE!

Dave:
ALVIN!!!

The Chipmunks & Dave:
Why can't we!?!
