Lyrics
Cool as a moose
On the other side of the pillow
Sometimes you got to yield to win
The Rumble in the jungle, Joe came on strong
Ali let him punch himself out(Ali let him punch till he looked old)
He laid on the ropes, man, he ain’t no dope
Tell me who was it went home with the gold?
He played it cool as a moose
On the other side of the pillow
Sometimes you got to yield to win
Way over in China, Lou Tzu makes it plain,
Frontal assaults don’t always work out
The very best general never fires a shot
Eventually the truth will out
He plays it cool as a moose
On the other side of the pillow
Sometimes you got to yield to win
(Bridge)
Work hard, play hard, compete in the game.
That’s what we’re taught to believe
I gave it a try and came up dry
Since then it’s been plain to me
You play it cool as a moose
On the other side of the pillow
Sometimes you got to yield to win
…………….
Take the tale of the tortoise and the hare
That rabbit was determined to win
Taking his time, at the finish line, tortoise said
“Bunny, where you been?”
He played it cool as a moose
On the other side of the pillow
Sometimes you got to yield to win
