[Lyric] Herman The Big Oily Moose (Peter Himmelman)

[Intro]
Just another exciting day out in the woods
I have what you might call a really exciting day planned
At eleven o'clock I'm gonna go and run to a big tree and then take a nap
And then I'll run to a rock, it's a big grey 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

[Verse 1]
Now, Herman, the moose, was walking around in the woods, Desperately searching around for 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

[Verse 2]
Herman, the moose, was bored just walkin' around
He was a big oily moose, he just wearin' a frown
Then one day, he heard the sound of a little girl whose eyes were brown
That girl was lost, and Herman came over to her

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Herman the big brown moose
Herman the big oily moose

[Verse 3]
Herman, the moose, asked the girl if she knew her address
The girl stated confidently, it's fourteen Oak street, I guess
Herman had been there before
He took that brown-eyed girl to her door
And her mother said, thank you so much, Mr. Moose
Would you like to come in for some cookies and tea?

[Chorus]
Herman, oh Herman, the big sweet moose

[Post-Chorus]
Herman politely said, no, thank you, ma'am, I'm on a diet
And I'm really working hard to watch my weight

[Verse 4]
Herman, the moose, walked back to the woods like a hero
His boredom level hoverin' right around zero
And suddenly, everything looked as shiny as the world in spring
And Herman felt great to be alive

[Outro]
Herman the moose, oh, Herman, been loose as a goose
Yeah, Herman the moose, been drinkin' apricot juice
Herman the moose, Herman, the big oily moose
