Animal Crackers Songtext

von Steven Tyler

Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Know what I was thinkin'
(What?)
I, I really don't think that the animal cracker
Qualifies as a cracker
(Why?)
Well, 'coz it's sweet
Which is an in suggest cookie
And when you put a cheese on something
It's sorta the finer characteristic
Of what makes a cracker

Why I thought of that, I just
(Baby, you have such sweet fill-up talk)
Ya got like a little animal cracker
Discovery channel thing

Watch the gazelle as he grazes through the open plains
Now look, as the cheetah approaches
Watch as he stalks his prey
Now the gazelle is a little spooked
And he could head north
To the 'Manless Peaks Above'
Could go south

The gazelle now faces man's
Most parlous question
North or South, way down
Tune in next week

Baby, do you think it's possible
That anyone else in the world
Is doing this very same thing
At this very same moment?
(I hope so)
(Otherwise what the hell are we trying to say?)

Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
