This song has always been a tribute to Newfoundlanders and their
unflaggingly practical way of handling any difficulty. But good strategy for
us all, wherever we may be driving our Vanagons. Of course, the pop-top can
being opened contains your favourite soft drink. Pat

MOOSE ON THE HIGHWAY
(Nancy White)

CHORUS:
Moose on the highway in the dark of the night
Caught in your headlights trembling with fright
Lard Tunderin' Jesus, Bye that's some awful sight
Moose on the highway tonight

I've had adventures all over the earth
I broke my leg once and I've given birth
Put a pop tart in a toaster, I watched her explode
Nothing so scary as a moose on the road

CH

Happy as pigs down the highway you roll
That's when your moose takes its evening stroll
Here he comes lopin' up over the bank
Into your car like a four-legged tank

CH

I smoke the air of Toronto each day
I watched "Pulp Fiction" without turning away
I've been on a panel with Rex Murphy
Moose on the highway's more scary to me

CH

Well Newfoundlander's they know what to do
When Mister Moose comes a-aimin' at you
You simply pull over and turn out the light*
Moose on the highway tonight

CH

*On the recording there is a pause here followed by the sound of pop top
cans being opened

This reminds me of a photo I saw years ago of a Bay window bus that hit a
cow-not a pretty sight!
