about

What an impact animals have on our daily conversation! This was so much fun writing a song entirely made up of animal-isms. Try and count them all!

lyrics

Happy As a Clam
(Music and Lyrics: Joanie Leeds)

You’re as happy as a clam; you’re in puppy love, you lucky duck.
When there are lovebirds soon enough, if you’re quiet as a mouse you’ll get stuck.
So stay a busy bee, always talk about the elephants in the room.
Or you’ll end up in the doghouse if you’re stubborn as a mule.

Stop talking turkey, silly goose. That’s what really gets their goat, holy cow!
You can’t weasel your way out with that hogwash when you’re neither fish nor fowl.
Has the cat caught your tongue? You seem antsy and you’re crying crocodile tears.
When your mad as a hornet, my dear, the buck stops here.

Take the bull by the horns and give a bear hug.
Make nice and line up all your ducks in a row.
Soon you’ll be snug as a bug in a rug, so doggone happy, you know.
You’ll be having a whale of a time as you go.

But I’ve been working like a dog, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
Once we’re finished pigging out, I’ll get a doggie bag to wolf down later, of course.
I’m as proud as a peacock that you’re mine and from this bird's-eye view,
You are the cats meow, I have butterflies in my belly.
I got a sheepish grin, my birdbrains gone to jelly.
Like a moth to the flame, I’ll make an animal out of you.
See You Later, Alligator, in a while Crocodile!
