Why Can't the Animals Smile

Why Can't the Animals Smile? is a song from the 1968 Christmas special, The Little Drummer Boy.

Lyrics

 * You never heard a lion laugh
 * You never saw a gator grin
 * A goose in a gaggle never gives a giggle
 * Why can't the animals smile?


 * You never saw a smiling frog
 * A tickled lamb; a happy hog
 * A light hearted camel
 * A merry old mammal
 * Why can't the animals smile?


 * A barrel of monkeys
 * A pack of silly donkeys
 * An elephant, a caribou
 * Have never been heard
 * To chuckle a word
 * Or twitter like people do


 * You never heard a mouse to fall
 * A crow that did much more than caw
 * Is an eagle, too regal?
 * Or is it all illegal?
 * Why can't the animals smile?
 * Why can't the animals smile?
