Dave Van Ronk - Dave Van Ronk Presents Peter and the Wolf

I'm Proud to Be a Moose

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
