The Moose Song

When I finished school - brain abuse

I looked to the stars - saw a goose

Then traveled back east - by caboose

Through this country of ours - I was footloose

On my way to St John's - newfy

Looking out of a car - was seduced

I saw something strange - like Goofy

Or a creature from Mars - wasn't drug induced

Call a truce it's a moose - it's a moose

His mind is small - not in use

That's not his fault - recluse

Better treat him right - no excuse

And please no insults - he won't take abuse

With long bony legs - can't dance

And looks that kill - short fuse

To look in his eyes - one glance

You'd have to stand on a hill - like Moses and Zeus

Call a truce it's a moose - it's a moose

Do you like to eat moose?

Well I do too - with grape juice

But given the chance to choose

He would eat me and you - and my friend Bruce

With antlers so big - I saw

Like a satellite dish - but reduced

You'll see one in Banff or Moose Jaw

Or in Antigonish - they reproduce

Call a truce it's a moose - it's a moose

In the Bay of Nanoose - nuclear warship moose

C'est fabuleuse Jean Chrétien - he's a moose

If you don't tell the truth - you'll be reincarnated as a moose
