Verse 1:

D#5                   G#5
You know I wanna be a squirrel
                         D#5
Without a trouble in the world
            C#5  C5
I'd live up in a tree
           C#5   D#5
And I'd be so happy
                 G#5
Yes I wanna be a squirrel
                     D#5
I also wanna be with you
           C#5      C5
Instead of haunting bars
             C#5    D#5
We'd be out chasing cars


Chorus:

E#5   D#5 C#5   D#5 G#5
When  we  fall  in  love

E#5 D#5    C#5   C5   D#5
We  can't  pick  the  day

E#5       D#5  C#5  D#5 G#5
Squirrels they ne - ver fall

E#5   D#5  C#5 C5    D#5
Hap - pi - er  that  way

Waay! Because I wanna be a squirrel!

Verse 2:

D#5                 G#5
Oh yes I wanna be a squirrel
                               D#5
And would you be my squirrelly girl?
             C#5     C5
I'd throw my nuts at you
            C#5    D#5
And we'd go have a chew
                     G#5
Because I wanna be a squirrel
                  D#5
I also wanna be a Narwhal
          C#5        C5
I'd swim around your boat
               C#5      D#5
And you'd jump down my throat

We  can't  pick  the  day

E#5       D#5  C#5  D#5 G#5
Squirrels they ne - ver fall

E#5   D#5  C#5 C5    D#5

LYRICS:
-------

Oh yes I wanna be a squirrel!

You know I wanna be a squirrel
Without a trouble in the world
I'd live up in a tree
And I'd be so happy
Yes I wanna be a squirrel
I also wanna be with you
Instead of haunting bars
We'd be out chasing cars

When we fall in love
We can't pick the day
Squirrels they never fall
Happier that way

Because I wanna be a squirrel!

Oh yes I wanna be a squirrel
And would you be my squirrelly girl?
I'd throw my nuts at you
And we'd go have a chew
Because I wanna be a squirrel
I also wanna be a Narwhal
I'd swim around your boat
And you'd jump down my throat

When we fall in love
We can't pick the day
Squirrels they never fall
Happier that way

Whistle while you work
Hitler was a jerk
Mussolini
Bit his wienie
Now it doesn't work
