Lyrics
The breeze is chasing the zephyr
The moon is chasing the sea
The bull is chasing the heifer
But nobody’s chasing me
The cock is chasing the chicken
The pee-wee, some wee pee-wee
The cat is taking a lickin’
But nobody’s taking me
Nobody wants to own me and I object
Nobody wants to phone me, even collect
The leopard’s chasing the leopard
The chimp, some champ chimpanzee
The sheep is chasing the shepherd
But nobody’s chasing me
Nobody,nobody’s chasing me
- The flood is chasing the levee
The wolf is out on a spree
The Ford is chasing the Chevy
But nobody’s chasing me
The snake with passion is shakin’
The pooch is chasing the flea
The moose his love call is makin’
But nobody’s chasing me
Each night I get the mirror
From off the shelf
Each night I’m getting nearer
Chasing myself
The clams are almost a-mixin’
The hams are chasing T. V.
The fox is chasing the vixen
But nobody’s vixin’ me
Nobody,nobody’s chasing me
