Lie down and close your eyes
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
You may be in for a little surprise
Hey now, hey now, hey now
*Let's eat*, something's moving and a twirling
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
Something wild, with a mind of its own
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

Scamper about, like furry little beasts
Looking for a house, or maybe just a hole
'Til it's safe to come out
Baby, baby, don't cry
Scamper all around way up in a tree
Or far beneath the ground
Where they'll never get
Predator or prey
Baby, baby don't cry
It's part of a scheme
Nature always gives
It gives it what it sees
But we all have a place
Where nothing goes right
Baby, baby, don't cry

Late at night
Our mettle is hot
But eveything's all right
It wouldn't even hurt
If we had a little fun
Baby, baby don't cry
Baby don't cry

There's animals under my skin
There's animals deep within
There's animals waiting to get out
But there ain't nothing
To try and drive them from within
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
I said
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

Wake up, they're coming alive
We're changing so fast
They don't want to be left behind
Can't stop
Baby, baby, don't cry
Scamper on the sidewalk
Of cities that were
They don't need clothes
Soon we'll have our own fur
What's wrong?
Baby, baby don't cry
Got to go to join up with the pack
Scamper at night
It's too late for turning back
And no regrets
Baby, baby don't cry
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
OH yeah

Why don't they leave me alone?
Hey now
It's just a matter of time
I'm on the line, I'm on the line
The whole thing's coming undone
We're all on the run
Get back, or get with the pack
The animals, the animals
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
(Ahhhh)
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
(Ahhhh)
There's animals under my skin
There's animals scampering about
(Ahhhh)
There's animals waiting to get out

Lie down and close your eyes
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
You may be in for a little surprise
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
*Let's see*, something's moving and a *twirling/growing*
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey
Something wild, with a mind of its own
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

Scamper about, like little furry beasts
Looking for a house, or maybe just a hole
Until it's safe to come out
Baby, baby, don't cry
Scamper all around way up in a tree
Or far beneath the ground
Where they'll never catch
Predator or prey
Baby, baby don't cry
It's part of a scheme
Nature always gives
It isn't what it seems
But we all have a place
Where nothing goes right
Baby, baby, don't cry

Scamper late at night
Our mettle is first
Eveything's all right
It wouldn't even hurt
If we had a little fun
Baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby don't cry

There's animals under my skin
There's animals deep within
There's animals scampering about
But there ain't nothing
To try and drive them within
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
And I said
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

Wake up, they're coming alive
We're changing so fast
Don't want to be left behind
Can't stop
Baby, baby, don't cry
Scamper on the sidewalk
Of cities that were
We don't need clothes
Soon we'll have our own fur
What's wrong?
Baby, baby don't cry
Don't be sad, I'm going away
I'll come back, looking for its own way
Can't stop
Baby, baby don't cry.
There's animals under my skin
There's animals deep within
OH yeah

Why don't they leave me alone
Freeing me down
It's just a matter of time
I'm on the line, I'm on the line
The whole thing's coming undone
We're all on the run
Get back, or get with the pack
The animals, the animals
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
And they say
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
And they say
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey

Got to go to join up with the pack
Scamper at night
It's too late for turning back
And no regrets
Baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby don't cry
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
(Ahhhh)
There's animals under my skin
There's animals under my skin
(Ahhhh)
There's animals under my skin
There's animals scampering about
(Ahhhh)
There's animals waiting to get out
