LYRICS:
-------
Oh yes I wanna be a squirrel!
You know I wanna be a squirrel
Without a trouble in the world
I'd live up in a tree
And I'd be so happy
Yes I wanna be a squirrel
I also wanna be with you
Instead of haunting bars
We'd be out chasing cars
When we fall in love
We can't pick the day
Squirrels they never fall
Happier that way
Because I wanna be a squirrel!
Oh yes I wanna be a squirrel
And would you be my squirrelly girl?
I'd throw my nuts at you
And we'd go have a chew
Because I wanna be a squirrel
I also wanna be a Narwhal
I'd swim around your boat
And you'd jump down my throat
When we fall in love
We can't pick the day
Squirrels they never fall
Happier that way
Whistle while you work
Hitler was a jerk
Mussolini
Bit his wienie
Now it doesn't work
