Oh, it's another exciting
day out in the woods.
I have what you might call a really
exciting day planned.
About 11 o 'clock I'm going to go
and run to a big tree,
and then I'll take a nap and
then I'll run to a rock.
It's a real big gray rock
and then I'll probably take a rest over
there by the rock and then
I'll... I don't know
what I'm gonna do.
I'm a little bored.
Now
Herman the
Moose was walking around in
the woods
Desperately in search of a store that
sold sporting goods
Now
Herman the
Moose was tall, he wanted a basketball
And also a snorkel mask and fins
and scuba diving tank
I once, uh, was peering
through a window at a lodge,
happened to watch
Jacques
Cousteau on
TV.
and the moose was bored,
just walking around.
Hi,
Mr.
Big
Rambler.
He was a big oily moose,
he just wearing a frown.
Noah wasn't too happy that day.
Then one day he heard the sound
of a little girl whose eyes were brown.
That girl was lost,
Herman came over to her.
But deeper she just looked so upset,
I didn't know what else to do.
And
Herman said, as gently as he could,
don't be afraid little girl.
I might be a big fat moose, but I'm nice.
And the girl stopped crying and
Herman delicately lifted her
upon his furry back,
making sure not to hit her in the head
by accident with his antlers.
Herman the big brown moose.
Herman the big whitey moose.
Herman the moose asked the girl
if she knew her address.
That's something every
child ought to know.
The girl stated confidently,
It's 14
Oak
Street, I guess.
Herman had been there before
He took that brown eyed girl to a door
And the mother said
Thank you so much
Mr.
Moose
Would you like to come in for
some cookies and tea?
Herman
Oh
Her man
The big sweet moose
Herman politely said
No thank you ma 'am,
I'm on a diet
And I'm really working hard to watch my weight
I'm just getting ready for the, uh, swimsuit
season
Herb and the moose walk
back to the woods like
a hero I'm just a moose
trying to do a mitzvah
His boredom level hov
ering right around zero
Or somewhere thereabouts
And suddenly everything looked
as shiny as the world in spring
And
Herman felt great to be alive
Herb as a moose
Oh,
Herman
Loose as a goose
Herman
Yeah,
Herb as a moose
My drink is apricot juice
Oh
Herman
Herman the
Moose
Oh
Herman
Herman the
Big
Oily
Moose
I didn't really think of it as oil so much
as as some sort of lanolin on the skin
I think it's rather nice actually
