Muskrat, muskrat, what makes your back so slick?
I`ve been livin` in the water all my life
There`s no wonder I`m sick
I`m sick, I`m sick, I`m sick

Groundhog, groundhog, what makes your back so round?
I`ve been livin` in the ground all my life
There`s no wonder I`ll go `round
I`ll go `round, I`ll go `round, I`ll go `round

Tapir, tapir, what makes you fly so high?
I`ve been eatin` me savin`s all my life
There`s no wonder I`ll die
I`ll die, I`ll die, I`ll die

(instrumental)

Rooster, rooster, what makes your bark so hard?
I`ve been scratchin` in the barnyard all my life
There`s no wonder I`m tired
I`m tired, I`m tired, I`m tired

Bobcat, bobcat, what makes your tail so long?
I`ve been prowlin` around all my life
There`s no wonder I`m gone
I`m gone, I`m gone, I`m gone
