Song lyrics

Standing on the corner of civilization

There's a time, there's a place for me

In a world where I can't be found

Cold and mean, people give me the creeps

Going to the jungle where the elephant roams

Got to get away, going to make it my home

Losing my taste for the human race

Social grace is a waste of time

It's absurd when I look around

So sublime that we blow my mind

Naked in the rain with a killer whale

I can taste the salt when I lick his tail


(Naked in the rain) Doctor Doolittle, what's your secret?

Give it to me, doctor, don't keep it


I never met an animal that I didn't like

You can come to me, I won't bite

Don't you know dog is man's best friend

There is some love that you can't fight

Naked in the rain with the black tattoos

Running through the woods and laughing at the blues


(Naked in the rain) Doctor Doolittle, what's your secret?

Give it to me, doctor, don't keep it


Listen to the talking heart in my chest

With this gift, good Lord, I am blessed

There's a lump and it's in my throat

I'm in love with the wilderness

Naked in the river skinny-dipping my way

In the waterfall, I just want to play


(Naked in the rain) Doctor Doolittle, what's your secret?

Give it to me, doctor, don't keep it

(Naked in the rain) Doctor Doolittle, what's your secret?

Give it to me, doctor, don't keep it
