Where seldom is heard a discouraging word Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud. And the skies are not cloudy all day. I would be ooey and I'd be gooey, Under everybody's shoey. Chorus: Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud. Home, home on the range Where the deer and the antelope play Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop. And the skies are not cloudy all day. I'd go down with a slurp, and come up with a burp. How often at night, when the heavens are bright Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop. With the light from the glittering stars I've stood there amazed, and asked, as I gazed, Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root. If their glory exceeds that of ours. Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root. I would sit upon the trail, Chorus And knock everyone on his tail. Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root. The air is so pure, and the zephyrs so free And the breezes so balmy and light Oh, I wish I were a little bitty mosquito. I would not exchange my home on the range Oh, I wish I were a little bitty mosquito.
