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
