Muskrat, muskrat, what makes your back so slick? I've been livin' in the water all o' my life It's wonder I ain't sick I ain't sick, I ain't sick, I ain't sick Ground-hog, ground-hog, what makes your back so brown? I've been livin' in the ground all o' my life It's a wonder I'm around, I'm around, I'm around, I'm around Jaybird, Jaybird, what makes you fly so high? I've been eatin' these acorns all o' my life It's a wonder I don't die, I don't die, I don't die, I don't die Rooster, rooster, what makes your claws so hard? I've been scratchin' in the barnyard all o' my life It's a wonder I ain't tired, I ain't tired, I ain't tired, I ain't tired Tomcat, tomcat, what makes your tail so long? I've been prowling around all o' my life It's a wonder I ain't gone, I ain't gone, I ain't gone, I ain't gone
