I Can Talk!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"I Can Talk!" is a song from Charlotte's Web the 1973 Hanna Barbera animated musical that was released by Paramount Pictures. The song is written by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman. In the motion picture the song is sung by Wilbur the pig who had previously been unable to utter words. The Goose realizes as she is sitting on her eggs that her new neighbor in the pen beside her, Wilbur the pig, hasn't been eating his food, and that he seems to be downhearted. She offers him an ear if he will come over to her and talk since she can't get off her eggs. But soon she realizes that Wilbur can't talk. She encourages him to try... And with a couple grunts, and a "Wa... Wa... Wa" "Wi... Wi... Will...bur.. WILBUR!" Suddenly, with the Goose's help, Wilbur realizes he can talk and say all the things he wants. Wilbur sings a song about his newfound linguistical skills, while waking up some of the other farm animals with his middle of the night excitement.
