The Coyote and the Prairie Dog Now I'm a coyote livin' on the range Tryin' to do my best to keep from getting' mange One day when I was out wanderin' around I came upon a prairie dog town Down their holes they scurried away As I came up to them all I could say was Awooo the prairie dog's my brother Awooo the prairie dog's my brother 'Cause I'm a vegetarian coyote I proposed that we could find a mutual accord Whereby their trust in me they would and could afford To spite the wicked hawk on wing that swoops out of the sky And no more run from shadows of clouds floating by For this all manner of bug and root and berry They bring me in a den in which we would be merry Awoo the prairie dog's my brother Awoo the prairie dog's my brother 'Cause I'm a vegetarian coyote….
