Did you know that chipmunks and prairie dogs and woodchucks are types of squirrels?! Imagine being a chipmunk and finding out how to navigate this new identity. That's this song.
lyrics
They always got us and squirrels confused
Call me a squirrel, and I was not amused
Yeah, we both hunt for nuts all day
And we run in front of cars, okay? [Okay!]
Chorus
But look at our tails
Look at our stripes
Just look at our tails
Look at our stripes
We’re not the same, not the same, not the same
The other day my mama sat me down
On her face she wore a terrible frown
That’s when she gave me the awful news
Guess what? We’re squirrels, too.
Chorus
But look at our tails
Look at our stripes
Just look at our tails
Look at our stripes
We’re not the same, not the same, not the same
We’re not the only ones with this problem
Prairie Dogs are in the squirrel column
And woodchucks are stuck with it
I refuse, I refuse to admit it
Chorus
But look at our tails
Look at our stripes
Just look at our tails
Look at our stripes
We’re not the same, not the same, not the same
