(Ray Davies)



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



CHORUS

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



CHORUS



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



CHORUS
