    Story Behind the Song
    Mike wanted this song to sound "happy" but have gravely serious lyrics. Tom took inspiration for the lyrics from Pink Floyd's Animals and Joe Walsh's "Wolf" off the Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get.

    Recorded "live" at the Water Street Music Hall in Rochester, NY on July 20th, 1996.

    Lyrics
    ©1996 Fiddle While It Burns
    I am no happy sheep; I don't feel very meek
    won't help you get to sleep, so don't you count on me
    I hang out in the meadow, but I don't want to settle
    for this pastoral life that you say I should lead
    til you hang me on a hook, slit my throat and watch me bleed
    and I sing Baa baa baa baa baa baa...

    I am no happy sheep. I've got sharp pointy teeth
    my real skin's underneath this clever coat of fleece
    the flock is gathered all around; I hear their bleating and babbling sounds
    and when the shepherd goes to town, I see my chance and I pounce
    and they sing Baa baa baa baa baa baa...

    "Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
    and she doesn't know where to find them.
    but leave them alone and they'll come home
    wagging their tails behind them."
