Proud To Be A Cow

Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street

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
