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! Jeff Stewart
