Lyrics

How do you talk to a little baby goat you can't go meow like a cat  
When you go meow to a little baby goat he can't go meow right back  
No you have to say baaa to a little baby goat you can't say hello like a man  
You have to say baaa to a little baby goat that's all he understands  
How do you talk to a little baby goat you can't go cackle like a hen  
When you go cackle to a little baby goat it doesn't mean a thing to him  
So you have to say baaa...  
How do you talk to a little baby goat you can't go quack like a duck  
When you go quack to a little baby goat it just doesn't mean very much  
So you can't go meow cackle quack to a goat you can't say hello like a man  
You can't go meow cackle quack to a goat remember you have to say baaa
