I Wish I Could Moo
By Michael Levine and Eric Litwin
Lyrics:
I am a kangaroo
You are a kangaroo
I am a kangaroo
You are a kangaroo
Iām wishing that we could moo
But that is not what we do
We are kangaroos
Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity, hoppity
I am a kitty cat
You are a kitty cat
I am a kitty cat
You are a kitty cat
Iām wishing that we could moo
But that is not what we do
We are kitty cats
Meow meow meow, meow meow meow,
Meow meow meow, meow meow meow
I wish I could moo, I could moo, I could moo, I could moo
I wish I could moo, I could moo, I could moo, I could moo
I am a groovy cow
You are a groovy cow
I am a groovy cow
You are a groovy cow
Iām happy that we can moo
āCause that is what we do
We are groovy cows
Moo moo moo, moo moo moo,
Moo moo moo, moo moo moo
Moo moo moo, etc.
