The lyrics and music for ''Doctor Dolittle'' were composed by [[Leslie Bricusse]], and the music was scored and conducted by [[Lionel Newman]] and [[Alexander Courage]]. In the original cut of the film, Dolittle and Emma eventually begin a relationship, and he sings a song titled "Where Are the Words?" when he realizes he is falling in love with her. In a revised version, Matthew falls for Emma and sings the song, and, although the song was deleted from the film before its release, Newley's recording of the song is featured on the film's soundtrack album. The footage of both Harrison and Newley performing the song, as well as Harrison's vocal track, are lost. Another song deleted from the film is titled "Something in Your Smile", which was sung by Dolittle while writing a letter to Emma after she has returned to England. The footage of this scene is lost, but Harrison's vocal track survives.

There was an enormous media blitz surrounding the release of the film's [[soundtrack]] album, and half a million copies of the mono and stereo [[LP record|LP]] were shipped to retail stores four months before the premiere of the film.{{sfn|Kennedy|2014|p=98}} The song "[[Talk to the Animals]]" was recorded by such artists as [[Bobby Darin]], [[Andy Williams]], [[Tony Bennett]], [[Dizzy Gillespie]], [[Jack Jones (singer)|Jack Jones]], [[Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass]] and [[Andre Kostelanetz]].
