We Weary Deer

We weary deer live in fear, weary deer
For we fear that we hear the hunters near
With a tag for the toe of dear John and Jane Doe
Oh no! We are wary, weary deer
Hunt the moose or the goose, but please turn the poor deer loose
For our families would miss us if we're not here
We stay up all the night in a terrible fright
Pity us, bleary, wary, weary deer
Oh, the foot of the hare brings good luck beyond compare
And the hair of the bear is more impressive
That space on your wall could use a nice trophy trout
Think about it, think about it
While we weary deer live in fear, weary deer,
Hiding down in the deep, damp, dark, dank den, in the gloom
How we long for a day with the antelope to play
Oh surely some sunshine shall shine soon

Hunt big game if you must, they're more glamorous than us
Or a feast of feathered fowl is delicious
The elk stand so proud and so tall that they must
Present a target that'll make you want to skip us
Steer clear of the deer (hunt the moose or the goose)
We live in fear, weary deer (or the hare or the bear)
For we fear that we hear the
hunters near (or a feast of feathered fowl)
Hey, how 'bout a trout?
With a tag for the toe of John Deere and Jane Doe
We are leery, bleary, wary, weary deer
