All the animals laugh at me And 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 wanna 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 a dog An eagle or a seagull or a polliwog Birds can fly, but I don't mind Nobody else has got ears like mine I'm proud to be a moose A moose is what I wanna 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, I wouldn't know how If you tried to make me be a goose It wouldn't be no use, 'cause I'd rather be a moose And I'm proud to be a moose A moose is what I wanna be Take a 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 what I'll always be The reason you can plainly see I'm as happy as an animal can be I'm proud to be a moose Proud to be a moose I'm proud to be a moose
