The Moose in the Middle of the Road Songtext
von Brent Holmes

Don′t try to move a moose in the middle of the road, he's much too big for you
he′s ten feet tall, and that's not all, he weighs a ton or two
you'd better turn around, unless you′ve found, a way to talk to him
ask him nicely and he might decide to be your friend.
Hey mister moose, you′re standing in our lane
hey mister moose, please get out of our way.
the moose has drivers on both sides sitting on their hoods
hoping that he'll soon decide to go back in the woods
cars are backed up miles and miles, they′re running off the map
when suddenly, the moose sits down to take a little nap.
hey mister moose, you're sleeping in our lane
hey mister moose, please get out of our way.
when you can′t drive under, you can't drive over, and you can′t drive around
you have to wait for the moose to move although it slows you down
but what's your hurry, don't you worry, don′t you know it′s true?
it may take a month or two, but the moose is bound to move


hey mister moose, why must you be so still?
hey mister moose, please go on down the hill
if you get out and take a picture of his goofy grin
be sure to wipe the cookie crumbs from his droopy chin
and while he's posed with his nose high up in the air
say something nice about the cowlicks he has in his hair
hey mister moose, won′t you please say "cheese"
hey mister moose, don't run into the trees
don′t try to move a moose in the middle of the road, he's much too big for you
he′s ten feet tall, and that's not all, he weighs a ton or two
you'd better turn around unless you′ve found a way to talk to him
ask him nicely and he might decide to be your friend
hey mister moose, you′re standing in our lane
hey mister moose, please get out of our way
hey mister moose, why must you be so still?
hey mister moose, please go on down the hill
