Lambert the Sheepish Lion (song)

"Lambert the Sheepish Lion" is a song sung by the lambs who ridiculed Lambert in 1952 animated short of the same name. Pete later hums to this song in the 1953 animated short, The New Neighbor.
The song was written by Edward Pola and George Wyle, who would, eleven years later, write the classic Christmas song "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year".

Chorus: Lambert
You can't even baa
You can't even bleat
Your ears are too big
And so are your feet
Lambert
Lamb 1: Your tail is too short
Lamb 2: And so is your wool
Chorus: There isn't enough
For one bag full
Lambert, the Sheepish Lion
Lambert is always tryin'
To be a wild and wooly sheep
Lambert, the Sheepish Lion
Little lambs all love to butt
Their heads are hard as stone
Lambert thought that he could lick
A dozen lambs alone
While the other lambs all gathered 'round
To watch the funny bout (oh, oh, oh, oh...)
He wanted to be counted in
Narrator: But he was counted out
Lambert, the Sheepish Lion
Lambert is always tryin'
To be a wild and wooly sheep
Lambert, the Sheepish Lion
The little lambs got Lambert's goat
He was a nervous wreck
He had to hide behind his ma
To save his little neck
He couldn't baa and he couldn't butt
At last poor Lambert knew
He hated to admit that he
Was yellow through and through
|-|Reprise (after the fight with the wolf)=
Chorus: Lambert the Sheepish Lion
Lambert...there's no denyin'
Now he's a wild a wooly sheep
Lambert: (bleats)
Chorus: Instead of a sheepish
Wailing and weepish
Little-Bo-Peepish
Lion

Lambert the Sheepish Lion
Lambert was always tryin'
To be a wild and woolly sheep
Instead of a sheepish lion
He couldn't baa, he couldn't butt
Oh, how it made him weep
To think that such a mighty beast
Was just a timid sheep
Oh, Lambert the Sheepish Lion
Lambert was always tryin'
To be a wild and woolly sheep
Instead of a sheepish lion
In winter when the snowflakes fell
And there would come a storm
Poor Lambert had no coat of wool
To keep his tail end warm
Oh, Lambert the Sheepish Lion
Lambert was always tryin'
To be a wild and woolly sheep
Instead of a sheepish lion
The wolf came looking for a lamb
You should have heard him shriek
Lambert tried his loudest baa
But it came out, "Squeak, squeak"
Lambert the Sheepish Lion
Lambert, there's no denyin'
Now he's a wild and woolly sheep
Instead of a sheepish
Wailing and weepish
Little-Bo-Peep-ish lion!
