Proud To Be A Cow
Words and music by Tony Geiss
sung by Gladys the Cow (Richard Hunt)
Sometimes when I'm in a mood
I think of animals I might have been
I could have been a wombat or a goose
I could have been a monkey or a moose
I could have been a dragon
Or a horse that pulls a wagon but I'm not sure what
Let others be a lion or a lamb
I'm proud to be the creature that I am
I'm proud proud proud to be a cow
I'm proud proud proud to be a cow
My skin is soft as silk
I give a lot of milk
I never pull a wagon or a plow
I'm proud proud proud to be a cow
I'm glad that I say moo and not meow
My eyes are soft and dreamy
My butter's rich and creamy
I'm proud proud proud to be a cow
I could have been a butterfly they're pretty
I could have been a cockroach in the city
I could have been an.. I know!
I could have been a rhino
But I'm not
So what?
I'm proud proud proud to be a cow
I'm proud proud proud to be a cow
I've horns upon my head
A meadow is my bed
I think that ev'ry cow should take a bow
I'm proud proud proud to be a cow
I'm glad that I say moo and not bow-wow
I'm proud I have an udder like my father, no, my mudder
I'm proud proud proud to be a cow
I'm proud proud proud to be a cow
