Discover the story of the song > Animal Crackers – Aerosmith

The lyrics are about a man who doesn't want to fall asleep because he doesn't want to miss his partner. The man starts talking about animal crackers and how he doesn't think they should be called crackers because they are sweet like cookies. His partner tells him he has sweet pillow talk. Then, the man starts talking about watching the Discovery Channel and seeing a gazelle being stalked by a cheetah. He wonders if anyone else in the world is doing the same thing at the same time. He hopes so because it would mean they are not alone.
