put "moose" in the lyrics search box in the upper right of the screen, hit the "go" button and it should be item number 10. The feminist version will come up as well.

There's also a parody called "Abuse". (Un)fortunately, the only times I've heard it sung were after many pints of Guinness and mead, so all I remember is the chorus:
    Abuse, abuse, I like abuse
    I've never had anything quite like abuse
    I've had many lovers who've tied me up loose
    But I've never had anything quite like abuse
Anyone else know more lyrics?

I know exactly the song you are talking about- the abuse one. Someone sang me the full version this morning. Unfortunately- I forgot the words (did a little too much drinking me thinks)

Fred Gosbee (Castlebay) has written a Moose Song. It is nice, clean, and lots of fun. He took it from a joke that runs around the state occasionally. It seems there was a Scotsman who moved to Maine and did quite well. He had a good life there. Eventually he went home to Scotland where he entertained family and old friends with tales of life in Maine, including about hunting moose. Well, one cousin thinks the tales have gotten too long to be believed and he insists on going to the "New World" to see things for himself. The two go out into the woods and after a few pleasant hours of hiking they spot a moose. The Scotsman turns to his cousin to see his reaction and is startled to see the man running away. When he catches up to him he asks why he ran. "Well," the cousin replied, "If that's the moosie, I dinnae want tae see the cat!"

Thanks Brett!! Here's Fred (Gosbee)'s
"Ode to a Moose" © 2000

There lived in bonny Scotland
An old man named MacDougall
He could play Annie Laurie
On the bagpipe, harp, or bugle
His second cousin, Ben,
Twice removed on mother's side,
Came one time to visit
For a week at Eastertide

This Ben came from America,
A little place called Maine
Where the winters are all snow and ice
Instead of fog and rain
And when Ben had a pint or two
And his tongue was getting loose
He'd tell the Scotsmen stories about
How we hunt the moose

The moose, the moose
It's how we hunt the moose
He'd tell the Scotsman stories about
How we hunt the moose

"Well we shoot one in the autumn
When the leaves are off the trees
Haul him home with a tractor
And pack the meat to freeze"
The Scotsman cried "I've heard enuf,
I'll gang along wi'you
Tae see gin this American moose
Can make a daicent stew!"

His friends and all his neighbors,
There was nothing they could say
He travelled to America
Before the end of May
And when he gets to Ben's house
Says "Noo dinna think me douce,
But gin ye wudna mind
I want tae see the American moose!"

The moose, the moose
Tae see the American moose
Gin ye wudna mind
I want tae see the American moose

"That could be dangerous my friend
This is the time of year
When they protect their young
You know the cows are very fierce"
But the Scot was not dissuaded,
He would see one if he could
So early the next morning
They both set out through the wood

And they searched for many hours
Before they saw a sign
Then tracks the size of dinnerplates
Were there beneath the pine
And then, right there in front of them,
Before a word was said
Was a beastie like a Clydesdale
But with antlers on his head

His Head, his head,
He had antlers on his head
A beastie like a Clydesdale
But with antlers on his head

"There's your moose!" cried Ben
But the Scot could not be seen
He was leggin' it for all his might
Right back the way they'd been
"Thank ye, Ben!" MacDougall cried
Just as he lost his hat,
"Gin that's a moose, I dinna think
I want tae see the cat"
