Dave Van Ronk - I'm Proud To Be A Moose lyrics

All The other animals laugh at me They say what would you rather be I patiently explain, I want to stay the same I'm proud to be a moose A moose is what I want to be Take a look at me and you will see I'm as happy as an animal can be Rather be moose than a duck or gull An eagle or a seagull or a pollywog Though birds can fly but I don't mind Nobody else has ears like mine Im proud to be a moose A moose is what I want to be Take a look at me and you will see I'm as happy as an animal can be Never had a wish to be a fish Tried to be a cow but I wouldn't know how If u tried to make me a goose it would be no use as I'd rather be a moose I'm proud to be a moose A moose is what I want to be You can look at me and you will see I'm as happy as an animal can be Never had a care to be a hare, a lion, tiger, penguin or a bear Never had a whim to swim upstream like a salmon Can't you see by now I'm happy as I am And I am proud to be a moose A moose is all I'll ever be The reason for this is plain to see I'm happy as an animal cab be I'm proud to be a moose I'm proud to be a moose I'm proud to be a moose
