[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
No you have to say, Baa to a little baby goat
You can't say, Hello like a man
You have to say, Baa to a little baby goat
And that's all he understands

[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus:]
So you have to say, Baa to a little baby goat
You can't say, Hello like a man
You have to say, Baa to a little baby goat
And that's all he understands

[Verse 3:]
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
And 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, Baa
