A perfunctory search for "the moose song" with alta vista returned at least these two versions, which I've copied below. I find the bawdy mailserver to be in perfect working order. I do *not* get copies of the things I send to the list, but why would I want to read my own mail? ;-) Happy Birthday Ed. Now, on with the songs.... The Moose Song from http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/moose.html When I was a young lad I used to like girls, I'd play with their corsets and fondle their curls. 'Till one day, my lady I caught with some churl, Now you'd never get treated that way by a moose. Chorus Moose, moose, I likes a moose, I've never had anything quite like a moose. I've had lots of lovers, my life has been loose, But I've never had anything quite like a moose. Now when I'm in need of a very good lay, I go to my closet and get me some hay. I go to my window and spread it around. 'Cause moose always come when there's hay on the ground. Chorus... Gorillas are all right on Saturday night, Lions and tigers, they puts up a fight. But it's just not the same when you slam your caboose, As the feeling you get when you humps with a moose. Chorus I've done it with beasties with long flowing hair, I'd do it with snakes if their fangs were not there. I've done it with walrus, a monkey, and goose, But it's just not the same when you screw with a moose. Chorus Now that I am old and advanced in my years, I look back on my life and shed me no tears. As I sit in my chair with my glass of Matheus, Playing Hide-The-Salami with Melba the Moose. Chorus... The Moose Song from http://www.ieway.com/~billw/moose.html When I was a young lad I used to like girls, I played with their bodies and fondled their curls. Till my girl ran off with a Captain named Bruce. Oh you'll never get treated like that by a moose! Chorus: Then its moose, moose, I want a moose. I have never had anything quite like a moose. I've had many women, me life has been loose, But I've never had anything quite like a moose. When I'm in the mood for a good lay, I go to the closet and get me some hay. I open the window and spread it around, Cause the moose always come when there's hay on the ground! Chorus: I've done it with all sorts of beasties with hair; I'd do it with snakes if their fangs were not there, I've done it with llamas, sheep, dogs and a goose, But I've never had anything quite like a moose! Chorus: Now a gorilla is all right for a Saturday night, And lions and tigers they put up a fight. But it's just not the same when you slam their caboose Like the feeling you get when you hump on a moose. Chorus: The king of the gods is a fellow named Zeus, On top of Olympus with an urge to seduce. They offered him virgins but he'd just refuse, "Screw all of your virgins and bring me a moose!" Chorus: Oh, the bride of ol' Bill, it's never been told Had surrendered her virtue indecently bold But she still has her "Moose" - she's happily his wife Proof even a woman can have one for life. Chorus: When I go a huntin', I don't take a gun, I just take myself and have lots of fun. I get up behind them, then get myself loose, Now I've never had anything quite like a moose! Chorus: And now I am old and advanced in my years. As I look o'er my life, I will shed me no tears. So I sit in my chair with a glass of prune juice, Playing hide the salami with Matilda the Moose!
